    I'd bet your owner's manual will tell you that. The manual should be just ahead of your knees when you are in the driver's seat.

    If I remember correctly I was able to use my key to get it out when I had to use it... Although I have tried to block that night out of my memory.

    I believe it is actually designed to be able to use your key. Same with the fuse panel cover.

    I used a knife wrapped with painters tape and it popped off very easily. Thanks all for the help!

    Actually you can just use your hands. Push in from the bottom towards the right, and the cover will come out.
