Yes it is. the handles and relay will work without the panel no problem. Also here is a little body shop tip from me line up the U part of the clip tool with the handle part of the crank or handle[you know, the part i guess I'd call it the lever part for lack of a better word]. The clip [unless it has been placed wrong] will always line up with the lever part of the handle. No need to spend lots of time searching for the clip. Just line up the U with the lever part and wiggle the tool a little as you push in it will pop the clip right out. Place a rag or you hand on the back side as those clips like to become airborne after gaining freedom. Jim
