Doesn't look like it will let me post a video on here unless I upload it somewhere. The click it makes when it releases isn't as bad as I thought. First time it does make you feel like it's not supposed to work that way, but it will release.

The release button on the right definitely is not connected to the left, the left one just releases from the pressure as you slide the right side out. And there is no pin, just a notched plastic piece on a spring. You don't slide it straight from both sides, you release the right side and slide the right side out slowly. Once you get the right side about a foot or so back (maybe less), you'll hear the left side release (sliding it out depresses the button/catch, you'll hear a click when it springs back in place).

I checked the manual and it simply says:

1. Press the button, arrow 1, to unlock the cover.
2. Pull the cover back, arrow 2.

You see it makes no reference to the left side and shows pulling cover back from right side only..
