Just lift it. It's a rubber grommet that's pushed over the head of a bolt.

same problem for me, just learn't to force it a bit more
I had the same problem and when i pulled it up the engine cover broke. Big hole where the grommet was attached. But who would have thunk that while out bush a few weeks ago i should stumble upon an entire D40 interior. Obviously stripped before the ute was burned out, i found a new engine cover hiding underneath a door trim.

my new ST-X must have that damn cover welded on, you sure it is just pushed on. Can't see any screws.

yeah i can't get it off either, feels like i'll snap the cover before popping it off.
yeah it a rubber grommet that plugs on top of a bolt thing. Its a pain in the ass.
As for the stereo facia, it could be out there somewhere. I saw the dash cluster and all of the door seals. It has been there for a little while when i found it. Can bet its still where i found it... migh tcheck on Sunday

what breaks first, the cover or the bolt it's connected to.
It won't break. The bolts are towards the rear on each side, so don't lever it up from the front. If the engine is cold you can lift the front enough to prise it up with your arm under it towards the back. Or grab each side.

I always pull mine towords me so it slides out of the grommets. Shit load easier.
That never even occurred to me to try.....cool
Mine broke very easily...
Thats what i do with my 2010 ST the whole unit is meant to be slid forward as the grommets are slotted or have grooves.
Not sure about how the new one works, its a entirely different cover. I will check it out and get back to you guys.

That is the best way to do it take front 2 bolts out and then slide towards you just reverse steps for refitting
I tried that, as everyone reckons thats the way to do it. But mine didnt have horseshoe grommets, they were round so no chance of it sliding off forward. Some little spanish prick muttered something like - " Le dan a este bastardo alguna pena cuando trata de tomar esto sin romperlo..." when he changed the grommets on me.
