Could someone please tell me how to remove the overhead console of a 2002 Pathfinder SE or similar (standard console version, not with the compass)?

I only see a screw in the sunglass holder portion and nowhere else... after removing said screw, the console is still firmly attached. Are there clips? More screws? Do I just yank it hard? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to remove it because I will be installing Homelink in the headliner next to the driver's sunvisor. It will be powered by the maplights in the overhead console, and access to mount the Homelink box will be through the cutout under the overhead console after removal.

I'm sure it's a piece of cake once I know what to do, but at this point I am too unsure of how this overhead piece is installed.

Thanks in advance!

pop the little plastic piece off where the rear view mirror goes up into it, theres 3 phillips head screws that hold the mirror on and also the front half of the console.
