Need urgent help removing rear hatch panel...

[curls]

Hey everyone... I'm new to the board but need some help ASAP.

I have to remove the grey plastic panel on the inside of the hatch door... but there are no screws or visible clips holding it in. Obviously there are some hidden clips all around underneath it, but how can I get the panel off without breaking anything?

Also, on another note, is the black area of the rear hatch window (around the rear wiper area) actually painted black, or can it be see-through or peeled back in any way?

Thanks for any help you can provide...

all you can really do it pull it off one corner at a time, once you get a corner, you can put your hand up in it and pull strategically to not break any plastic pieces. But yeah, it's all pulling down force.

Thanks for the link!

Although, do I really ened that clip remover? If I were NOT to use one (don't have one), is there a good chance I'll break something? If so, I may forget about it... but if I can get at it with a flathead screwdriver or something, will this work?

Thanks for the incredibly quick replies.
