    Remove the side trims held in with 1 screw each, remove the 1 screw in trim where you pull tailgate down, then pull panel off, 10 clips hold it in place

    Thanks ian, i presume it will need a strong tug ?

    do the clips just pop out or are they likely to break ?

    can they be reused ??

    and do i need to lever it off or should a good pull pop em out ?

    i guess pull from the handle area when i have removed the screw ?

    Clips normally stay on panel, give it a good tug and it will come off, you may get 1 or 2 clips stay on tailgate, just prise them out carefully or they will drop into tailgate.
