Sorry , mine is inaccessible at the moment, but it is indeed simply a case of pushing gently down a few mm, then pushing it either forwards or backwards, which releases it to pop back up and out.
I can't remember which way either, but it doesn't take any force to do it, so if you take it easy you should have no problems.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Yep, push down slightly and from the cabin, push away (Boot direction) when re-fitting
down and a gentle pull it will pop back in.
Should take little effort so unlikely to do any damage.
