w126 Door panel removal

There's a couple of other threads on this forum about how to get the skins off these doors, but they skip over one point and I'm stuck on the plastic housing around the door handle and the window switch.

Everything's off - I think - except for 1 clip which is on the inside of the housing just behind the window switch, on the trunk end. I have the switch out and through the hole I can feel it in there. It extends behind the wood. If I could slide the whole piece of plastic toward the front of the car, it would clear, but it's still held by a screw by the top of the handle. And I can't release that screw until I release this clip. Or that's how it seems to me...

It's right behind the arrow in the pic, and I cannot for the life figure out how to release it without breaking the f*****g thing off.

Anybody got the technique, and want to share?

Or just want to sympathize? That would help too. But not as much.
