Default another headliner question

So I have successfully taken the headliner out of the car but I cannot figure out how to remove the storage compartment. It is the one right next to the rear-view mirror. The ebay listing below has a picture of the compartment. It is in the right column of the 17th row. Sorry, I can't find a link straight to picture. Please let me know if you know how to remove this. Thanks

Aside from the screws inside, I don't have a clue.

The two screws that you see from in the car hold the liner to the ceiling but there are two more screws that hold the compartment to the liner. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get to these screws. They are between some pieces of plastic and I guess I have to figure out how to remove one of these to get access... I just can't figure out how

I finally figured it out... All you have to do is put a skinny flat-head screw driver between the two pieces of plastic (from driver's seat view of the compartment). Pull the compartment out after moving the clips out of the way with the screw driver. It's very easy
