Hi all, hoping someone might be able to help me here. I recently purchased a new “Trunk Lid Grip - Black” from ECS tuning and I was looking for some guidance on what trim needs to be removed to get to the back of the handle from the inside to remove it.

Thanks in advance.

 

Open up tailgate, you will see two screws. These need to be removed and once removed the plastic trim can be removed to get access to the screws that hold on the rear grip handle, I believe from memory it's 4 screws.

6 screws on the back side



Here is that interior trim,
