I'm pretty sure the metal clip is the culprit which causes you to put more force than needed. |
I think what happens is the piece gets off-center a bit and the metal clip catches unevenly, more on one side of the bracket it connects to than the other, and doesn't release properly. This causes it to bend which only gets it stuck further and get more messed up when you pull it out, possibly breaking parts of the plastic tab it attaches to. Seems like it's supposed to come out with the metal clip still attached to the cover, the clip only comes off the cover when one or both pieces is damaged.
