Mojave cowl side trim panel removal?

[JCappy]

Can anyone explain how to remove the cowl side trim panel on a Mojave? I need to remove it to get my ditch light connector under the hood. I removed the 4 screws and it feels loose but I still can't remove it and don't want to break anything. Are there possibly some clips hidden somewhere I'm unaware of? Been searching for info or video of removal and not having any luck. First time jeep owner so this is a learning experience.

Yup! The holes from which you removed in the top portion extend down through some tabs that help center it. I pulled a little too much on mine and sent it flying and now have a few hydro blue marks on floor of my garage where it bounced.
Stand behind it to make sure yours doesn't go flying but pull up and out and it should come loose. Driver side was more stubborn than pass side.
Good luck!

Thanks. Couldn't stand waiting any longer so I managed to get them off yesterday in the afternoon. Thankfully mine didn't hit the ground but after doing the drivers side first which was stubborn, the passenger side flew out against the antenna which caught it but now I need to work on the marks it left on the paint. I think a little buffing will fix that. Appreciate the input.
