My question is this, why do you want to remove the vinyl panel?
I have the same problem in my car, I need to remove the panel because
I want to change the color of it from biscuit to black.  What I am
going to try is to color the thing in place.  The guy who did my 
interior swears by regular fabric dye for changing the color of the 
vinyl parts.  I am going to try dying it in place with a rubber
glove, a sponge and some dye.  I will let you know what the 
results are.  
What are you trying to do?
