Installing the hatch
Can anyone help me? I wanna switch out my hatch but I'm wondering what needs to be taken off. I was just eye balling it and it looks like some of the interior needs to come off? Well, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

-Remove rear headliner surround plastic
-unplug the defrost (and wiper if equipped)
-undo hatch struts
-pull back of headliner out of the way and undo the 4 nuts
-remove.

I didn't need to remove the headliner. Just the rear plastic trim where the headliner meets the hatch, to unplug the wires for rear wiper (if equipped).

Is there a certain way to taking off the plastic where the defroster wires tuck into? I tried yanking it off and I have a feeling that I might of cracked something behind the plastic interior....damn me.
