Shifter replacement

I just purchased an OEM SSK for my 07 Targa4S. It seems the most difficult task, at least for me, is removing the shifter boot and horseshoe trim. I found an older thread that suggested that on the 07 and newer cars, the horseshoe is screwed down. Is this the case, and if so, how is the leather boot taken off to allow access to the screws? If it isn't the case, where does one pry up on the horseshoe trim to get it off without breaking a tab? I have got the rear-most end to come up about half an inch, but can't get it to release along the edges towards the PCM console. I have been prying with a flat tool wrapped in masking tape, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

No screws - just really tight clips.

It hinges towards the rear of the car so use a trim tool to carefully lift a corner and then work your way to the center back (from each side).

I solved my own problem. I finally popped off the leather boot to expose the screwed down trim underneath. I'm sure glad I didn't try any harder to pry the aluminum horseshoe off.
