Just stick the flat head in the and give it a little pressure, if it doesn't budge, try it again on the opposite side.

Flat head or maybe even a slim credit card and some added pressure should do the trick. How thick is the piece of cloth?

it's a bit tricky, because the piece cloth stuck on the hooks. Thanks for all the suggestions, I will try it out in a hour or so.

on another note concerning the sunglasses holder...

anyone else have trouble fitting designer shades in there? My aviators won't fit. Only my stupid Maui Jim thin ones will.

You don't use HomeLink
