Hello, I have a '98 Boxster with a bad rear window. I picked up a used top with frame and want to remove my convertible top and frame and replace it with the one I just picked up. I believe I need to remove the plug (rear defrost) on the driver's side (LHD car) in order to slide the old top assembly back and out. How do you disconnect this plug? I don't want to break it and create a larger project.

BTW, if you have a '98, there are 2 Phillips screws on each side in addition to the 3x 13 mm fasteners - took me a bit to find those.
