Guessing the left side may have more clips.

Might have 2 clips at the top and bottom, 1 on upper and lower right side, 3 on left side (1 more between upper and lower clips). Total 7 clips. But just a guess.

Try using a flat screwdriver with the blade taped to prevent trim damage to gently pry the area.

Try using a j-hook shaped tool or a dental pic to pull outward. Get it as close to the top (there probably is a clip right there) as possible.

Mine's always very tight on the left side as well. No extra clips, though - it's exactly the same as the right side. As toyomoho mentioned, just used a taped up flat screwdriver and very very carefully pry it out. It'll come.

Get that screwdriver between the black and the dash and in as far as you can before you pry. This piece is easily broken. New one at dealer is about $30, $15 on ebay.
