Default Ashtray lid removal

Hello, Currently tearing down my 89 and have the center shift plate out. How does one remove the ashtray door ? It looks like 2 push pins retain it, however I do not want to force it. I have a little clear piece in either side of what looks like a push pin. Now do I get pliers and pull that out or try pushing it through to release these pins that hold the lid in place? I can post pics if need be.

Yes, those push out. My memory is foggy, but I think I used a flat blade screw driver and pushed from the backside.

That worked, they pushed through from the retainer lip side, or from the middle out. Thanks
