05' CR-V Disconnect window regulator from motor
 

I am trying to replace a power window motor on an 05 CR-V. I got the motor off just fine, but it is still connected to the regulator and I cannot see behind the metal panel in order to unplug/replug the regulator from the motor. Is it possible to remove the metal panel in order to have access? I don't want to start taking off bolts that don't need to be messed with. Any advice would be appreciated. I have not been able to find instructions or video on this particular part of the process.
