I've got the door panel off and I am trying to get that clip to come off to get the lock cylinder out... my fiance and I struggled for quite a while trying different pliers. Is there some trick to it?

The access panel is in an awkward place...

Thanks for any info.

No tricks, it just slides forward.
I use a screwdriver and pry between the cylinder and tab on the clip.

Yeah, it really TICKED ME THE HELL OFF. I ended up using a three foot crow bar, and it popped right out.

but I might mention... I never found it.

Thanks! I will keep fighting with it.
