Default 2008 Mazda 3 rear hatch trim removal

Does anyone have instructions for removing the plastic trim panels on the inside of the rear hatch? I've popped off the top trim piece, but I've been unable to get the side trim pieces off. I'd like to get some guidance before I go too far and break something, especially with outdoor temps near freezing. Thanks!

FWIW, I did finally find some information on removing the side trim on the hatch window. The trick is that the little **** that holds up the parcel shelf actually has a push-pin feature. Half of the **** belongs to the push pin, the other half to the fastener. Finding the seam between the two and pulling the pin out frees that fastener, and then the side trim pops off.
