I don't recall ever needing to pull one of the tailgate trim panels (although I may have done it once). The instructions and diagrams in the service manual are sufficiently vague that I'm not sure where all the screws are. I expect you'll need to remove the pull handle. You may also find some screws behind the side trims at the top of the trim panel. Other than that, what you see should be what you get, I'd think.
