Removing rear inner panels

[orcusomega]

Sorry, another lame n00b question, not able to find in search other than this:

http://www.sonicownersforum.com/for...ving-rear-plastic-side-panels-hatch-area.html

which shows how to get part of the panel removed, but I need to get it completely out to replace the hinge (I think).

I need to replace the rear hinge for the luggage cover from the right rear of my 2015 hatchback. In order to replace it, I need to pull the inner body panel to get to the back of it. I see several plastic "plugs" but are there any gotcha's I need to look out for?

Based on this - http://www.gmpartsoutlet.net/auto-p...ne/body-cat/interior-trim-quarter-panels-scat it looks pretty simple - so I am wondering what I am missing

Any recommendations? Sorry, I have the thing for only a week, so I am learning as I go, but I won't ask the same dumb questions again

Appreciate the info!

Bob

Ya some pics would be nice, everything always looks simple until you start to open things... but should be pretty straight forward, it's not showing the full removal of the panel though.. just enough to get to the wires..

You'll first need to take out the upper panel. There's a screw behind the "airbag" label. Then take out the 7mm bolt near the bottom rear panel where the tie down mount is. Everything else pulls right off.

Yup, this worked like a charm. Last weekend I pulled the panel and replaced the hinge... had to trim the plastic that they melted to hold the part in place and gorilla glued it in to help keep the locking tabs tight...

I love an easy fix
