any tips for removing trunk plastics?

Hey folks I'm removing the trunk plastics, and got almost everything out of the way (rear bar, carpet, rear 3/4 interior panels). Any tips about how to pull them off the body without breaking anything? Do they pull off inwards to the center of the car, or up to the sky?

Towards the center. Start with the panel at the back that goes around the latch for the hatch, that one does actually go straight up to disconnect.

The other panels do also have 10mm nuts holding it down around the bottom perimeter.

The plastics are relatively flexible so they aren't too bad to remove. Just keep track of the metal clips, sometimes they stay on the car and pop off the plastic trim piece.
