What keeps it so tight is the rubber seal along the top. Run a bit of dish liquid into that seam and push/pull front to back just to get some movement and penetration of the soap. Next, take some pliers and work that rubber strip up and out. Then the panel just lifts up. It will try to hang on the forward screw tab so watch for that. If that doesn't work, you have to resort to the rubber mallet method, lightly tapping along the bottom of the panel. This is what I did the first time I pulled the panel. since then it's not quite as tough.
