Wedge a flathead screwdriver in there and pry directly next to the retaining clips, otherwise you could risk breaking a clip or warping the panel if you just pull on it.

+1 On the screwdriver. I would wrap it in some sort of cloth to prevent it from eating up the plastic.

Just pulling on it will the trick, but it's going to hurt your finger tips, make you moan like a girl It's a PITA to remove any of the plastic interior peices, on top of the clips breaking on you when you pull them out.

Good idea... I actually did this, but was too lazy to type it.
