Vito heater panel removal

[Hally639]

Hi folks!
Newbie so please forgive any etiquette faux pa's!

Whilst changing the heater fan resistor bank on my 2005 W639 Vito, I accidentally pulled the control panel and half the vent baffles fell out. Now I'm trying to remove the panel to fix but can't disconnect one of the electrical connectors - see attached pictures. Any ideas how to remove this connector (without cutting any wires!)?

Thanks!

Hello and welcome

From your picture it looks like there is a press in clip just to the left of the wires in the picture.
Give that a press towards the cables whilst pressing the cables and connector into the holder then pull it out whilst still holding the clip in.

Thanks Blobcat, unfortunately it's not budging, no matter what I try to shove down there!
