I wasn't able to get it out using the pry tool they supplied. I used a car trim kit that I had with larger pieces to get it out. Popped it into the side and lifted slightly and it popped right out

I think the Amazon site that sells the cubby with the lid has a video on how to take it out.

You will be doing a lever action wedging in the seam between the trim and the plastic piece that pops out. I used 2 small plastic pry tools and worked it from the end closest to the console. Use 1 tool to pop it up a bit and then use the other tool to work it up a bit more. Then slowly work it out using both tools going back and forth between the 2 tools.

Remember to use some type of tape to protect the trim piece because you will be using the trim surround as a lever.

Here is a video where he uses 1 big tool and no tape protection. I would recommend using 2 smaller tools and some tape (just in case) and then gently work it free. Brute force like he does in the video is not a good idea cuz things can and do break - especially plastic.

Used some grippy furniture pad stuff to line the cubby so stuff doesn’t rattle around in there as much. I will head down to and pop it into the car once I get my lazy ass off the couch.
