Rear Trim Removal Instructions?

[Carbon87]

Does anyone have access to the Ford tech data to pull the diagram for removing the chrome trim where it says EXPLORER on the rear lift gate? I'm assuming it's like prior years where you just remove the bolts and use a trim tool to release clips, but with the washer fluid line and bulb wiring in there, it'd be best to know where to stick the trim tool to miss the things inside and get closest to the clips. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if these are of any help. They are in the 5th gen Forum.

Yeah, I’ve been through those. They all say just to pull with a trim tool. I’ve tried doing so on the new one, and it doesn’t seem interested in budging. Hence the concern.
