How do i get the plastic trim piece off in my trunk?

Ok well i need to get my left tailight out b/c i have water in it. But i just realized that it won't come off unless i take out the center peice too. How do i get the trim off in the trunk behind the center peice? It seems to be really stuck on there....

shouldnt be very difficult i took out my entire interior with a phillips screwdriver, a 10mm socket, and whatever the seats bolt size is.
you probably just need to pry more

Get a long flathead and pop the panel off. Make sure you are popping/pushing near the little tabs that hold them in. You have to kinda put some muscle into getting the top off.

Sorry if i sound like i don't make sense.

well the only reason i ask is because i tried to pry it off and i ended up cracking the piece and it's still on there.

You have to be gentle. when you are prying make sure you are prying right next to where it's tacked in.

Why do you have to take your center light out, to the get your left one off? Unless talons are different, you can just use the side panel that comes off.

I may be wrong but i think there is a little tab on the side lights that stick behind the middle light.
