Window ECU plug question...

I was going to re-solder the circuit board in the Window ECU ...Unlatched the glove box through the spring lever and let it hang.....then......tried all the techniques I could think of and still cannot unplug the top plug...ouch a few times....and gave up! I don't want to damage the wires and I know that it's suppose to be pressed on the right side ( which I did with my hand, pliers, pryed with screwdriver ) but still wouldn't budge!
Is there a better technique to unplug the dang top connector?
Best wishes

erwin, i did that job myself last summer and i know you dont want to hear it but i do think it's just a matter of persistence. It was quite a pain if i recall when i did it. I would also caution you when you solder it to make sure you keep the solder points as small and neat as possible. My job was a little messy and it looks like i'll be going back in soon as my rear windows are working only intermittently now

Ok, I don't have a paint diagram on my mac so bare with me, leave both plugs connected, the lower connector has 8 pins I believe with the top left (closest to windshield and driver side) being a white/pink tracer wire, (it was hard to see the pink tracer on mine), the top right (closest to windshield and passenger side) being a purple with a maroon/brown tracer, I just stripped a 3 inch piece of wire on both sides and stuck it from the back sides to both pins. All windows worked, no splicing of other wires. No problems at all. Mine is a 1996 Discovery SD
