Hi All
Trying to remove the tailgate trim board from my TE. Sussed the screw/rivets at the bottom and the side clips, but how does the top of the board (nearest the glass) release? I cant see fixings and it is held in place very well-I don't want to break anything!
Many thanks.

If its like the front ones at the screen sides which have metal spring clips behind them, its a realy good tug thats needed, wait for some confirmation before you do though.

It has about 6 spring clips. IIRC they can be removed by pulling them out with the trim lying parallel to the window
