Anybody know how to remove the hatch plastic trim?

Make sure you have some nylon panel bars or you'll cut the crap out of your fingers trying to get under them. And they come out HARD. You'll feel like you're tearing the thing apart the first time.

Thanks for the tip. I tried yanking a bit before and it did not budge so I was worried about destroying the piece. Hopefully I dont!

To pop the white clips out (the hard ones) I used a piece of wood 3/4" x 1 1/4" about 2 ft. Long. Push it in right up to each clip, with the 1 1/4" upright then push up on the outside end. Popped right out, simple. No cut fingers.
Cheers
