Ok they are 4 locking pins. 2 on the to and two the bottom. Not sure if you have enough space to get behind it to push them in.

The 2008's are in the middle of the dash now down low, I still can't see anyway to get to them and the relays (which I still have not found) are in a different place from the 2007
