removing pw/pdl panels

Another quickie here:

I've got to check two faultly switches on my master panel, and the window switch on front passenger.

Out of curiosity, I lifted the back of the soft panel just a bit on driver door and it began to pull away. My question: Is there a certain technique I should use to pry up the panel to avoid unnecessarily snapping/stressing any parts?

Should I lift from back to front? As in, rear of the vehicle to forward?

You have to start at the rear of the switch panel. There are two clips. Once it is unclipped, pull it towards the back of the vehicle. That's it. Now you can get to the back of the switch and unplug it.
