He says what we all think. You don't get anywhere by pissing off the people who have the answers to all your questions. VAGlinks has a beautiful write-up with pictures on how to remove the entire interior of your car, if you'd bothered to look.

According to my experience there are two screws accessible below the steering column, just forward of the steering wheel. Unscrew these and the upper plastic trim cover can be tilted up and out. The upper section hooks into the lower section nearer the instrument cluster. It may be a tight fit with the steering wheel still in place as you tilt the trim piece.

The lower steering column trim cover will require removal of the steering wheel before you can access two screws securing it to the column (plus one more screw from below).

Yes, two very small but long philips head screws tucked up in there, and you can remove the upper without removing the steering wheel...

Here are a couple of links that show some pictures of the steering column trim removal (although both show the steering wheel removed).
