Ioniq 5 rear camera install: Tailgate cover removal

[iunik]

I'm trying to replace my scratched Ioniq 5 rear camera. I'm stuck trying to remove the black plastic tailgate cover after taking out the pull handle and screws. Are there hidden clips? Does it pull straight off? Any specific direction to pull? I'm worried about breaking it.

Use a plastic trim tool to carefully pop those off, just go slow so you don't break anything. Getting it working is usually automatic, but sometimes you'll need to do a software reset or get the dealer to adjust the camera for you.

Yes, there are hidden clips, try gently prying from the edges with a trim tool. It should pull straight off but requires firm pressure. Anyone done this?
