you squeeze the narrow edges of it to release it. I am fuzzy on why you need to remove it though, you should be able to flip the panel out of your way and still access the latch mechanism.

Which cable are you trying to replace, one of them requires removing the latch fromt he door.

If you are replacing cable number 16 then you should not have to unplug anything at all. which cable specifically are you tying to replace.
