I used a shorter length 5mm allen wrench and didn't have any issues with the seat being in the way. Also, to remove the switch from the sill plate, I used a wider (about an inch) pry tool to push each of the 4 tabs to allow me to push the switch out. I think the wider pry tool size will help reduce your chances of breaking the plastic tab.
All back together and good as new. Thanks for the write up here... saved me a lot of time.
Do you guys know where I can purchase the trunk switch. I'm looking for a replacement. Mine broke off. I'd appreciated it if guys can direct me somewhere or know if someone is selling a used one.
Thanks

I replaced my trunk switch assembly with an eBay part. Easy job. Worked great.
Figured I’d add this picture. After removing, painting and fixing switch a few times I think I’ve finally figured out the easiest way to remove the switch.
a thin flat head the size of the small slot. You can pop out each corner at a time. Wont break the plastic either.

After numerous attempts to release the switch from the sill surround, tried this method and came out like a charm. It will not result in a cracked clip.
