HELP!!.. Stupid question (or stupid me!)

[Natcam]

I had the same issue with the hump on. Put some race tape over the paint work, and wrap a cloth rag over a small flat blade srew driver to lever a bit of space. Using a hacksaw blade with another rag to push through, and push the release. (I just cant remember if I did it from the left or right side though ?) Took me about 5 mins, and no damage to paint was done.
