Check the tabs that hold it in place, you may have damaged one of them. If that's the case, you'll need a new panel. I'm not sure if you can buy them separately - probably not.

2 flat tab hook ears per side, for a total of 8. The top being the tallest, so, pry the lower portion both up and slightly outward, insert a putty knife at each hook, and push the knife up a little more, 'til the bottom unhooks.

Slide it leftward, and putty knife the right clips, then weasel it the rest of the way off by sliding it right and down.

Inspect and readjust all 8 ears, and assemble with the top in first.

Oh, and don't go by the factory manual's instructions, as they are transposed:rolleyes:.
