How do I take this cap off? Help please!

Hey guys, basically what I need help with is to know how to remove the cap. Do i press on it then take it out? I can seem to find a way to pull it out. Many thanks!

I used a flat head screw driver with tape on the end to keep it from scratching/damaging the bumper.

If you push on the very top of the cap, the bottom will come out and you take off, it is simple.

I use a suction cup, but but that method is better . I'd NEVER use a screwdriver (even covered), especially with no notch, but that's just me . Paint is super easy to dent.

Don't do this. I believe you push on the bottom or the top (don't remember) and it will pop out.
