Default QUICK! How do I remove the steering column cover?

I'm trying to isolate a noise coming from my steering wheel/column area, I've got the airbag cover removed, but I can't figure out how to remove the damn shroud that goes around the steering column (the black bezel the turn signal and wiper controls come through). I put a long screw driver into both holes and I still can't figure this out.

I must not have a long enough screw driver than. I haven't hit any screws in the holes.

There are two small holes in the bottom cover that you use to unlock the airbag clips. These do not have screws in them. I suspect cencal is referring to other screw locations. The airbag clip holes are small.

Default column cover

consult your chevy dealer. There are no screws in the cover and I think the tilt lever pulls out. The covers snap together. I havent worked on a C6 I use to work at Saginaw Steering where we built colums. Don't screw up, it will cost you.
Good luck

You guys are correct, there is No screws underneath the cover... I had to double check Here's a write up I did when I swapped out my steering wheel. There is a 1" rubber strap the hold both pieces together... firmly pull towards the front of car and it should come out.

Might be more appropriate to ask in the c4 forum than in the c6 forum. People there are more familiar with the platform.
