2006 - Advice on removing trim above steering wheel?

The trim piece above the steering wheel doesn't want to budge. I've even gotten the center piece to break lose, but I can't fully remove it until I get the driver's side off. There seems to be two clips on the bottom, and they've been popped out. There are two more on top of the trim that will not move. I've tried wiggling it back and forth. I think I'm just about wiggled out. I sure hope all this goes back on as easy as it comes off.

When I did mine I got the center peice out and in by just freeing the bottom clips on the driver's side then wiggling free the center panel. Remember that the center peice has two screws (next to the hazard and light dimmer buttons) that screw upwards into the bottom edge of the dash...

Thank you Matt. Yep...I found the screws on the center piece. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a screw or something that I'm missing on the driver's panel. So very confused...
