How to Remove Center Console on Mondial QV?

Hello:

This past weekend I spent some time cleaning up some of the electrical connections on my '84 Mondial. I didn't get s far as I wanted, however, as I could not figure out how to remove the center console (between the front seats). I removed the screws within the ashtrays and rotary dials, but the console didn't want to come up with VERY gentle prying. (I didn't want to pull too hard as I didn't want to break anything.)

Are there any hidden screws that I missed?

Also, are there any suggestions for things to do while I have the console cover off? I'm planning on:

* Cleaning all contacts with Deoxit D5.
* Applying Stabilant 22A to the connectors.
* Diagnose passenger window switch. (Passenger window doesn't go up or down. I'm going to see if the switch is bad.)
* Replace European cigarette lighters with standard U.S. lighters.

Should I plan on anything else?

Thanks.

Thanks! I'm glad I didn't pry too hard!
