Suspension height adjust switch help

I need help on how to replace the suspension height button in my GL450. It's on the center consol but I cannot figure out how to remove the plastic on top of the console that holds it in place. Part of it pops up like it wants to come off but won't and I don't want to break it. Do you have to remove the entire center console to do it or is it easier?

You might be able to pull the console compartment wire access panel and reach your hand up under the console to fumble it out/in, but likely need to remove the console assy. You can remove the console without removing the front seats and fairly easy to do.

The console is easy enough to remove with only 4 bolts i just wanted to bypass disocnnecting all the other wires. Im not the best when it comes to wiring.
