Dashcam Install - tailgate trim removal

[Skippa]

Rear Dashcam Installation - has anyone removed the trim on the top of the tailgate to get the cabling through to the camera position? How does it come off? Looks like there's a wide retaining clip at the top. Which bits do you pull?

I tried getting cables through from the rear to the front of the car in the headlining but there appears to be a metal bar half way down the car that's getting in the way. Anybody had any success - if so, how did you do it.

Thanks for any help.

Do you mean this part? If so, I have the same question. I want to position the rear cam just below the plastic cover.

Try a trim tool to pry it if it doesn't come off using your fingers.
I find these things are often secured by clips far larger than is justified by their size or weight.

Yes, that's it. I can get fingertips into the gap at the top but that long clip stops it. Maybe I'll try a trim tool on the bottom edge.

Are you attempting to gain access to the rubber cable conduits too? I flexed the clip as far as I dared but was afraid that I'd break it if I went too far.

Yes, when I get a chance I'll try a trim tool near the glass . It must come off. Might have to ask the dealer how to get it off. Knowing Arnold Clark they'll want me to pay ££'s to scan the system beforehand!!!
