Default Removing trunk liner?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to take off the plastic cover for the trunk release in the center of the pic. I can take off the trunk liner clips but have been tugging at this plastic piece and stil can't take it off. TIA

i used a flat head screwdriver to loosen it a lil, then a pair of wire cutters to get underneath the head of the clip and sorta "pluck" it out. you also need to take off that glow in the dark emergency trunk release as well as that plastic black thing on the bottom of it.

Yeah the plastic black thing is the part that I am unable to take off. Can you tell me how you took it off? Thanks.

ooh oops hahah. i used a flat head screwdriver and wrapped it in tape. i stuck it in the side... where the edge of the glow in the dark part goes in. twisted the screwdriver which loosened the black plastic piece and worked on it from there. its really easy to take off. sorry it's kinda hard to describe the process...
