Aaron:

You aren't alone - I broke the tabs on my CQ's sunroof switch panel by prying the rear off first, too...

A few years after I had repaired the broken tabs the sunroof godess returned and attempted to fill my car with falling snow.....  Im my haste to slay her with the hex sword I once again pried the cover from the rear and re-broke the tabs.
