Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

I have attached two pictures for your review. The first picture is of the hatch trim panel and the second contains the steps to remove the unit. These pictures correlate together so you can use the picture to locate components listed in the directions.

Once you get the panel off, you will see the latch assembly. Picture 3 is the latch.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the information. I end up removed the 2 x B clips that allow me to peer back the lining enough to tighten the screws on both side of the latch.
