Question Rear spoiler install

This may be a basic question, but I have a 2005 GLS 2.0 and I want to install a rear spoiler. How do I take off the interior trim panel from the underside of the hatch? I need to drill holes and bolt on the spoiler, so I need access.
Thanks in advance.
Darryl

I think there are 3 or 4 torx screws.
I took on the task without any help and figured it out - not that difficult.

[I hope I understood which part you are referring to]

It is really easy: there are 2 philips screws in the handles (one per handle) once you remove there are few clips that hold the panel just gently pull and it will come off. It is somehow harder to put in because it has to just fit, but with a little of patience will go in.

Any chance we could get some pics of the install? I'm interested in doing it myself.
