The lock cover clips into an 'S' shaped clip that fits the bottom of the trim frame, and I think there's also a spring clip linking it to the outer scraper backing plate. It should pull out downwards when you remove the bottom screw on the glass channel, and with care you should be able to get it to go back after! Dave Hall.
