2014 Ford Explorer-how to access rear wiper motor?

[LT_Spenny]

Hello,

I'm trying to get to the rear wiper motor and don't know where the trim clips are on the rear lift gate. I've tried the search feature and found a post mentioning clips, but when i tried to follow those instructions, i got nowhere, maybe I'm not pulling on the rear trim hard enough? anyways was hoping for some feedback on how difficult that trim should be to pull off. I removed the screws under the handle cover and the little inspection port to look at the gate lock and haven't been able to remove anything else.

Much appreciated!

Remove the part around the glass (7 clips).

Then remove the liftgate handle cover and remove two bolts.

Pull main panel away (10 clips).
