Master Window Switch Replacement

Very simple question, couldnt find much online about this but I was looking to replace my master window switch however I'm unsure how to unplug this plug and don't want to break anything. Does anyone know how to correctly unplug this?

That's an easy one. Flip that gray switch back, it will both release the lock and will move the two components slightly apart.

What do you mean by back? It seems like there are stoppers on each side to prevent me from being able to move it side to side or back and forth. Do you mean up and out?

Just use your fingernail and pull on the gray tab

Correction, I drew the arrow in the wrong direction in this picture.

This is from a BMW MC but it is the same connector type. Move the latch in the direction of the arrows and it will raise the connector up from the receptacle.
