Use a trim tool to go around the edge prying the trim loose.

Thanks chaps. Where are the other 2 screws? Also, does the plastic trim around the boot lock need removing, or does the panel come without having to touch that (or is it part of the main panel)? Thanks.
Why are you trying to remove the panel in the first place? Some other member has asked this question, but with no answer.TurboTrev wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 7:23 pmThanks chaps.

Thanks, appreciated. Dashcam fitting for me on the cards also.monkeyhanger wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 11:30 am I have a photo from my dashcam fitting with the tailgate trim off. I'll upload later, but basically you have 4 screws - 2 in the bar shape cavity meant for a warning triangle and 1 each in the dark reaches of the grab handle cavity.
Oo. I have put a dashcam fitment guide up in here somewhere, but have realised that I ran out of time and didn't finish it with the rear tailgate. Feeding the rear cam cabling from the rear of the car headlining to the rubber gaiter that carrys tailgate wiring is a bit of a sod. Easier to bend a coat hanger into a U shape and feed from the gaiter hole to the hole above the headlining, attach cable to coat hanger and then pull through rather than trying to thread the cable through. Then down the left hand side of the tailgate frame and tape up the slack to the tailgate lock/wiper wiring and have your rear camera pop up above the rear wiper knuckle, high enough to be within the swept area of the rear wiper.TurboTrev wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 11:46 amThanks, appreciated.

Theres a lot of spring pins to line up when you put it back on. I like to put a spot of masking tape on the reverse side of where they are, so you know where to give a sharp whack with the palm of your hand when refitting.TurboTrev wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 6:31 pm Thanks, just taken the panel off, much easier than I thought it would be.

I also, on my wife's 2015 6C Polo, took a picture of where the masking tape with clip positions highlighted with marker pen were, when I was adding in a Skoda pull down handle for my wife who is roughly 5ft tall - just in case I need to get back in there in the future!monkeyhanger wrote: Tue Aug 06, 2019 7:18 pmTheres a lot of spring pins to line up when you put it back on.
