Default Removing side pads from console

Was wondering if anyone has removed or knows how to remove the pad on the right side of the center console ? Have a very irritating squeak that has begun in the area. Appears to be the leather like materiel rubbing on the plastic upper part of the console.

Looks like it might just pull off with some slight effort, but figured I would ask first .

Thanks

Start from the top nearest the seat, pull out and up. They're just clips. It comes right off.

True28 ... that worked perfect.

shurik74: The side panel had become slightly curved in towards the console upper area, thereby making contact and causing a creaky noise. Removing it and bending outwards, took care of the problem. If it returns I will put some foam in there to keep its form.
