Thanks for sharing.

How snug is the existing piece? I was wondering if it might pull up/out if you attached one of those Velcro Command strips or something else super sticky and swiftly pulled straight up? The same way that the start/stop button is removed when people swap them out.

I’ve used this method to remove wheel centre caps. Works well.
