Default 2011 LX570 Parking Brake Cover

First post and looking for a little help here. I have a 2011 LX 570 and the leather cover on the parking break is torn. I ordered the replacement piece (cheaper than I was expecting) but I'm having a hard time finding any info on the process of swapping them out. Looks like a pop-off/pop-on process but I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this part/process. Didn't want to go prying the old one off and risk breaking mounts

Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to give everyone an update on here if anyone ever was searching for the future. I managed to get some diagrams of the dash from Alldata and was able to replace the parking brake cover with ease. All I had to do was pop off the piece of the dash with the push button start on it and the pop off the parking brake console piece.

I wonder how somebody managed to tear the parking brake cover?

Does anybody even use the parking brake in an automatic? I guess if you lived in a hilly location you would.

Glad you were able to fix it!

My best guess was that a small dog chewed on that spot. The vehicle was clean but there were a few scratch marks in the wood grain and small amount of dog hair between the seats. My guess was some small purse dog.
