Cool. The thought crossed my mind to do that also, but with the cold weather here I was very hesitant to 'bend' anything plastic. I can't imagine what one of those panels costs. I am very glad that it worked out for you. If the panel is left on, the window track stays put so you definitely don't need to mess with it then. Very slick!
I was having flashbacks to when I did the heater core in our old Focus in the month of January (-20 degrees F) and the plastic housing came out in 6 or so pieces. Ford had discontinued the part and it was 4 hours of labor to remove one from a junkyard car short of sawzall-ing the entire dash and console. After hours of trying to find one, I gave up but finally did manage to put it all back together with superglue.
