Need to replace the wood panel on my center console after a gorilla burgler trashed it trying to remove my aftermarket navigation unit.

I've got the radio and AC/Heat controls cout and removed the two screws from under the radio section.....but the center vents are holding the wood panel at the top.

Now what? How do I remove the center vents at the top so the wood panel can come free.
