Default Removing Rear Hatch Interior Panel

Hello all, I have an '02 RX and I want to open the rear hatch interior panel to add a back-up camera.

I've searched but have not found any information on removing that panel. Anyone have experience with removing this panel?



Thanks.

The bottom piece (the one with felt), just pops right off. The top piece is the same, except the clips are much harder.

If you search for the license plate light DIY, you will find instructions on how to get into the rear hatch interior.

You've probably already done it, but in case it helps others this great post by defo on replacing the cargo hatch switch does a great job showing how to get at the exterior trim panel where you'd want to install the backup camera: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...with-pics.html
