Have removed screws from panel and released all visible clips; however panel seems to be stuck near window. Can anyone please advise me on how to remove it?

 

I also have all the clips removed and the panel where it meets the rear window will not release. I cannot see what is holding it so that I can remove the rear hatch panel. Has anyone responded to your request for assistance?

 

If that hatch panel is anything like the door panels, all you need to do is pull the lower part of the panel covering out so you can lift the panel off the edge.
When installing you needed to hang the panel on the lip first then push in the retainer tabs.

 

Awesome! Thanks I have been able to take it off. 👍
