Default Need Procedure for Uninstalling/Installing Center Console

On my 2002 vert, the matte black center console's outer "skin" has peeled off in sections leaving a black shiny surface beneath it. Right now, it looks like it has leprosy! This is the 3rd console that has done this, and I am wondering if the thin outer layer is supposed to wear off like this. I would like to take the console out in order to remove the remaining "skin" (which is thinner than cellophane). What's the procedure? I can't find where/how it is attached. Any help for a "cure" would be appreciated.

Try not to use harsh cleaners to clean it. my orignal one with 60k+ mi on it still looks like new. The rubber coating scratches easily and then peels easily. Gotta love that made in the usa qualty.
