Default How to remove center console

I have a 2003 monte carlo ss and i cannot find out how to remove the center console. I found the screw in the front cubby hole that was the only screw i found. What other screws do i need to remove to get my center console out?

There are screws under the arm rest, and once you remove the top there are a few more screws.

the top cover should just pull right up (with a little pressure, don't yank it as you may break it)

it should just pop right off, be careful to not apply to much pressure, you don't want to snap it in half..
