Sliding door hinge cover removal

[chapperss]

How do I get this cover off ?( the bit above the rear wheel arch) .I removed the 2 screws underneath but cant get it out of the channel with the seal in at the top under the window. Is it just a very tight fit? or have i missed something? just dont want to scratch the paint! Just need to have a look at the roller and the track,the door is really stiff so looks like the roller has seized. Thanks Steve.

Pull the lower edge out slightly so that the tangs for the screws clear the body and
use a rubber mallet and gently whack along the lower edge in an upwards direction.
The upper edge of the cover has a tang (lip) that sits in a groove on the body.
Sometimes they rust in place, release agent and a rubber mallet usually does it.
