Has anyone taken the center console out?

I've got CDs stuck in my changer and going to take to an audio tech to take them out. I did take the bottom part of the console out and unscrew the two screws on the bottom of the changer, but something holds it on the sides and top, and it's not all that obvious what it is. Any suggestions?

Same sort of question.. Has anyone taken out their Driver Side Door panel for 03-04 G sedans. Ive got a 20 dollar bill invested inside my door panel and want to get it out. DIY anywhere?

the screw is on top when you remove the plastic panel where your clock/temp stuff is, and theres a lot more to removing the head unit

not to thread jack but...to those that have taken their center console out, do you now have any rattling or creaking problems with the console and/or if you had rattling prior did it get worse?
