Removing Center Meter Panel on 6 Gen ..Help

Hey Guys. Need some help on removing the plastic center Meter Panel on a 6th Gen VFR. I've done everything the service manual said to do, but I'm afraid to pull any harder in fear of breaking something.
What I've done so far:
1. Removed Windscreen
2. Removed the two plastic tabs (push type to release) on bottom of meter panel.
3. This is where I need some help. Service manual states to pull off. Well, it appears there are some tabs to the right and left that fit underneath the tab.
Again, any suggestions?:yield:

 

Sorry dude, thats one of the few pieces i haven't taken off the bike. See if you can see anything in this picture that would help. I can e-mail you a higher res copy if you want.

Thanks Action. That's Funny......you've got every piece around it off but the panel cover.
Upon futher inspection there are two plastic tabs running through a rubber gromet on both sides. I have tried pulling it "gently" but I swear if I were to use all my strength, the tabs would break.

 

After allot cussing, I got it off. You have to firm, but gentle.
