Default Need help with drivers side seat

I'm trying to replace the plastic bracket that holds the seat controll panel. I can't get the recline lever off. What's the trick?

Really easy.

Get a flathead screwdriver push in the side by the lever and push down on the shiny metal clip and then pull off the handle while holding the clip down.
