[V8] window regulator clip

I'm trying to remove the port-side window regulator from the
rear door. I've got the 3 nuts that hold the motor undone,
and the 2 bolts that hold the upper bracket. But I'm stuck
with 2 clips that hold the cables to their respective
brackets.

If I manage to squeeze the legs and push the clip through
its hole, will that release anything, or will that just
cause more trouble?

All I'm trying to do is to do is get the window up. Putting
12V power directly to the motor wires doesn't move the motor
(or the window).  So I'm hoping to remove the regulator motor
to test it and/or repair it, or at least free up the window
so I can push it up into place and clamp it there.
