Default Cigarette Lighter Replacement Question

Hello all. This may be a really dumb question to you awesome people who know what you're doing, but to a guy who normally doesn't have the ability to fix much, I need some help.

That said:

I have a '96 Winstar GL. The cigarette lighter in the front somehow came unscrewed, so half of it is loose inside the dash and the other half is still connected to the cell phone charger (so I wouldn't lose the pieces.)

Anyway, I know they simply screw back into each other and should work fine (assuming a fuse didn't blow at separation or anything)...

My question however, is how to access it to get the things back together.

How do I remove that bit of rubbery paneling near that part of the dash? do I have to remove the entire dash? does that part just pop out? (It looks like it but I didn't want to snap anything that wouldn't go back)...

Any help would be great, as soon as possible... I'm taking the family on a trip and really want to use the power for charging a phone/kids' DVDs/etc and I'm leaving in two days!!!

Any help would be appreciated greatly! Thanks!
