Default Ash Tray Door Removal

I know...dumb question, but in the past I had a habit of being somewhat ham handed and breaking things due to carelessness. 1996 CE...does anyone know how to remove the cupholder/ashtray door? It looks like two pins fore and aft with a flat head that you pry out, but before I do that I wanted to check. Also, how do you get the lighter out?

BTW...I checked the factory manual and couldn't find anything specific to those items.

Thanks!

Yes. Removing pins will close up plastic rivets allowing removal from slots and freeing up the ashtray door. As for the lighter, grab with finger from the front and turn the backside barrel.
