Default how to remove the rear plastic cover to get access to the wiper motor

I tried and I tried and still couldn't find any screws or clips to remove.
Can someone give me guidance?

thanks

ahh. that damned plastic cover!..
Forget about saving it. Use some pliers or vise grips and rip the plastic cover off.
I didn't try this, but maybe heating it up with a heat gun might loosen it up..

Next you'll have to worry about removing the wiper arm.. It'll seem like its stuck.. Just pull straight up and it will come off.. Or try using a little wiggle action when pulling it up. Good luck!

Just pull REALLY hard, don't worry you won't break it. I had to get in the trunk and pull towards me to get better leverage.

Should i pull from the edge on the rear side (near the liftgate) or on the motor side (near the rear passenger seat)

If it's from the rear, there is no leverage which I can stuck my even one finger in there to pull anything.
