How to remove accessory panel on tailgate?

[ChoBronco]

Does anyone know how to remove the accessory panels, in particular the one on the tailgate door interior? I bought a molle panel to install there, but can’t figure out how to easily remove the panel and am nervous about breaking it. I looked in the owner’s manual—nothing. Thanks

Probably just trim clips. They can be a bit tough at first, but should come out with a trim removal tool (so you don't scratch anything).

If you're replacing it anyways, does it matter if you do accidentally break a clip? Just make sure if you do and it falls inside the door, that you remove it - Otherwise I'm sure that (potential) rattle will drive you nuts.

Use a plastic trim and pull from the bottom left or right edge, there are 4 pop tabs along the bottom and then slide it down towards the floor (there are angled slide tabs above each pop tab).

Right side in picture is the top of the panel
