Just take a screw driver and pry it. It worked for me. Be careful not to break the plastic snaps tho

Once I got a corner started, I just used my hands to slowly lift and pop the plastic cover off. It is pretty brittle so slow and easy!

If I remember right you want to pry from the top first. The bottom clips will break off if you dont.

Good luck.
