How Do I: Remove hatch trim panel

[shouck]

2007 Hatchback, How do I remove the black trim panel from the hatch? Specifically the little round retainers. I can't figure those out.

Thanks

Pull out the centres and then pull out the plug, they are extra ****ty quallity and I broke several removing mine to fix the hatch linkage. If you break them do not worry at all they are under 10 cents each at your local GM dealership for the factory replacements, I bought 10 for spares.

I figured the center needed to come out, but it's flush. How does it come out? Or how is the best way to wrestle it out?

push it in. the clip will come loose before it falls through.

****!, sorry!. I'm half awake at work...

Pushing it in worked, came right out! Thank you much!

before you put it back together take them all out. and start them so they stick out like studs.

then when you put the clip in you just push the plunger in and it will stay.

where is this plugs? At the rear hatch door? I need them too. Mine were grey color. I broke a few too while sounproofing the hatch door and installing auto truck door release witrh my remote alarm. My local gm dealer don't carry them. Can help me ship a few over? Like 10 pieces?
