How does this trim piece come off?

Can anyone tell me how to remove this small trim piece to the left of the steering wheel? I've already removed the 3 torx screws on the bottom edge. Are there any other screws I need to remove?

You have to remove the trim piece above it that goes up and over the steering column; there's more screws under it that you need to remove.
I think you'll have to remove the instrument cluster on the steering column first though.

Oy.
Ok, so...

1. remove instrument cluster
2. remove trim piece above (are the screws for that obvious?)
3. then I should be able to see the remaining screws for the little piece I have circled.

2. No screws; it's held in with clips. Gently pry it free.
