Tailgate Interior Panel Removal

[stefano12]

I am waiting for a new rear camera. I have to remove the tailgate interior panel for place the wiring.
Anybody can give some guide lines to remove it without damage anything?

Regards.

What sort of panel is it / what spec van do you have - Caravelle / Panel Van?

Do you have any Trim Tools?

Thanks for reply. I have a Caravelle model. I have trim tools.
But I don't konw where to start. I think is like to remove a front door panel...
Suggestion?

@StudleyGlass and @Deaky have retrofitted Caravelle tailgate turns to their vans.. whilst you’re waiting for someone to pop along with your answer (I’ve got a Cali panel, so don’t want to mis-advise) have a look at their build threads, as their photos and write-ups might assist

It’s just clipped on. Start by releasing all the clips around the outside edge. Remove the tailgate switch and pull strap. There are 4 clips across the middle then it's clipped just under the window across the top. The window surround piece can stay in place.

remove the pull down handle, few torx behind it. If there is a switch be careful when pulling it but apart from the handle give it a yank. If theres a child lock turner on the bottom its worth watching this also.
