I need to replace a faulty window switch on a 98 ML320. It appears that if I remove the plastic liner box inside the center console, the switches will be easy to get to.

I have put medium pressure with a couple of screwdrivers to lift the box, but I do not see what is holding the plastic liner in place.

There does seem to be a couple of holes which might accept some tool to unlock a latch, but it is not obvious to me.

Anyone know the trick?
