Please help - how to remove Genesis footbed?

Hey guys,

I have a really silly question. It's been years since I've used non-est bindings and just picked up a pair of the Genesis Reflex. I can't figure out how to remove the footbed so that I can insert the disc to mount them (see pics attached).

Intuitively, I would figure the "U" shape where the pattern ends (near the heel just before the red part) on the footbed should be pulled up, but the two corners of the pattern are fastened pretty hard in place and I don't want to pull too aggressively or it might rip.

I've also tried "popping" it near the heel through the hole on the bottom but the footbed is so damn soft and flexible that nothing "pops".

Any insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem when I got my Malavitas. I had a major "WTF, bro?!" and actually asked for help from a tech :( figuring it out cuz I came straight from the store to the mountain and just wanted to ride!

Just reach under on those two parts you have circled and peel em up. It folds and flips out of the way. It'll SNAP in and out of place. The gas pedal kinda does the same as well. I get weary of plastic (especially such dinky stuff like these clips) that gets wear during removal and adjustments but I think they'll be okay and easy to replace cheaply if ever any problems.
