The handle on my rear hatch has been working off and on for a while now. When I pull the handle it doesn't seem to be catching. Sometimes if I were to drive for a while or cycle the power locks I could get it to catch. Now, however, nothing is working and I need to tear into it to see if I can fix it. From other posts it sounds like a clip may have failed. My question is how do I get the interior panel off if I can't get the hatch open? I've seen a couple of nice write ups on how to get the panel off, but all of these have the hatch open. Is the procedure the same?
 






Do it the same way. It's just a lttle uncomfortable kneeling in the back.
