wood Door trim removal question.

My passenger trim around the seat switches was cracked. I got another piece of trim but cannt get out the old one. I Search on this forum and others. Nothing was real straight forward.
A post by Thrillkill said it just pops off. I pried with a putty knife and the switch looks like its gonna break. I dont want to break the seat switch. any help? This was the last of my weeks to do's for the car. I had a box of stuff to put on but I was waiting for my drivers seat to get restitched. Any help especially with pics would be GREAT!

I got it. I was just impatient it does pop right out with the control seated on the trim.

Great....I was going to suggest the following.

Inspection of the replacement part would provide a pretty good idea of how things come apart, go together.

I've found that with a call/visit to the dealer, they will provide answers to questions.

Had just put on sport pedals, rearview camera, hood buffers and flat emblem. Everything went well up until the trim. I didnt want to break something while fixing another. I couldnt tell the switch clips into the trim. Impatience is a bad thing to have. I hadn't thought about asking the dealer, but I will file that one away for later use. Thank you for the advice.
