Anyone Cracked Open the Phone Tray?

[THX723]

Curious if anyone's cracked opened the center console phone tray (below)?

The housing appears to be made of 2 pieces hard glues together, so no easy way to separate them without risking damage,.

I was equally baffled. It’s actually really easy to separate. Look at 2:00 in this video:

Sorry for not being more clear, I meant separating the entire assembly (split into two halves), not simply the end piece/strip that snaps right off to hide the cables.

The assembly is plastic welded together. No simple way to separate it other than prying it open and gluing it back together.

Yes indeed. It's just about impossible to pry without cracking. I ultimately used a Dremel tool to cut open a section for my project.
