Hello- the indicators on the right hand side levers on my 72 SL have fallen behind the panels and are interfering with lever movement up and down. What is the easiest way to remove the control plate so I can address?

Pull the other levers off and find all the screws holding that panel. There’s light/electrical wiring clipped to the backside of it so be careful.
