Interior door latch bezel
Got a pair of painted bezels for the interior door latch/lock.
It looks like they should just pop off and the new ones snap back on, but, so far I haven't had any luck getting the old one's off. Don't want to break anything. Anyone have a suggestion??

From the service manual:
Pull the door inside handle open to access the openings to the bezel locking tabs.
Insert a screwdriver in the lower opening. Tip the screwdriver up while pulling on the bezel releasing the lower locking tab.
Insert the screwdriver in the upper opening. Tip the screwdriver down while pulling on the bezel releasing the upper and the forward locking tabs.
Grasp the bezel firmly, pull the bezel releasing the rear locking tabs.
Remove the bezel.
