It has 8 retaining clips around the panel. 4 on each side. Slowly pry at the seam on each side till it releases from center console, remove wire connectors and reverse procedure for installation.

Why isn't warranty covering this repair/replacement?

I've had mine off a couple of times when I was fitting a wireless charging pad on the centre armrest. Its just held by clips. Start at the bottom and give a firm (but not aggressive) tug until the bottom clips pop, then work your way to the top. The electrical connectors are fiddly but once you work out where the little lug is that you have to depress on the plugs they come off quite easily.
