Removing main hatch rear trim




Im having one hell of a time removing this main trim

Any pointers on where all the clips are and in what direction i should pull ? I tried pull down on the outter and was able to pop out the long springs. But inwards is not budging. Especially around the prop point of the privacy cover

Thanks !!

There are 2 pegs that the privacy cover "strings" loop around. If memory serves, those can be rotated 90 degrees and they come out easily.

The trim in general just pops off. There are also a few plastic clips (like what holds the cover over the ECU) that are underneath, but they are obvious when you get to them.

FYI, I had a weight saving binge a while ago - I discovered that trim weighs about 10 pounds! I've put mine in storage and been running "naked"

Thank dale. I did figure out after i posted this. The 2 privacy cover rope holder was what was stuck and preventing me from taking the panel out

It broke in a few pieces . Lol. Hope i can still get new ones

I have an extra one, if needed. Average condition.
