Trying to pull the rear left and right interior panels. They're overlapped by the rear upper trim, which is held in partially by the rear hatch struts.

So, basically, I need to know how to pull the rear hatch struts off. I always thought there was a retaining pin on 99% of hydraulic struts, but... Can't see 'em on these.

Thanks.

 

If I remember correctly, there are bolts/nuts on the hatch struts that you need to remove before taking them off. Did this a long time ago so I hope this helps.
