So somehow the wife managed to pop up the trim from the shifter when she placed it into park. Does anyone know how to take it all apart so that I might be able to put it back together?
Here's a pic that I can't seem to embed.

I'm not sure how she did it, but I need help fixing it.

Your picture isn't coming up. If you're talking about the black trim around the shifter, it is pretty easy. Set the e-brake, pull the shifter into drive (don't start the engine) and then pull up the metallic trim piece. You just need to pull it up enough that you have enough room to work. Be careful because that trim piece is connected to the 4WD/VDC switch if you have them. Once you put the trim back on, line up the clips and push down.

Download the service manual from this site. It lists the procedure for removing that plastic trim so that you can get the shifter trim exposed. First thing you do is pop off the cup holder trim, which is pretty easy. I seem to remember a bolt or 2 that have to come out before you can remove the larger curved trim that the shifter sticks out of. You may not even have to completely remove this piece, but I'm not sure how much room you'll have.
