Default Driver-Side Window Control Switch Panel

Is the release catch for removing it from the arm rest at the top/front end of the module? It is on on the passenger-side panel but I'd rather not guess, the silicone cover is kind of fragile.

I think the releases are at the opposite ends on the driver and passenger side. On the driver side the release is at the rear edge of the door switch assembly, and on the front edge on the passenger side.

The drivers side door/window control switch panels come out from the rear. Place a small flat blade screwdriver with a piece of soft cloth to pry up on and pry up on the rear part of the panel. It will come right up. Be careful not to force it as the plastic clip that holds it in is at the front of the panel.
