Panel under steering column

I have a 2001 Ranger and I am trying to install a remote starter, but I couldn't get the panel under the steering wheel off. Anyone know the trick? Took out 4 trox screws on the bottom but sometihing else is hold it at top. Didn't want to break it by forcing it..

My 2004 Ranger has two screws (in addition to perimeter screws), holding both the panel and the hood release bracket, these are hard to see/find. Of course there are push/pull "snap-ins" also.

I didnt even take off that panel, i just laid down and looked under the dash when i did my remote start. Biggest PITA thing i've ever done with the truck. would have been much easier taking off that panel. hope you get it off
