2001 rear hatch

I looked at the inside of the rear hatch on my 2001 to try to remove it so that i could take a look at the rear wiper motor. upon inspection of the panel, i cannot really find any way to remove it to inspect the inside. can anyone offer me any assistance in removing the rear door panel? i can see these clip things on the inside, but i dont want to break anything on the inside so i decide to come to you guys before taking it any further. thanks for any help.

you have to get a flat head screw driver and start to gently pry behinde the pannel until you can get your fingers in there to pry and just pull it off.....it might take a little effort sometimes those clips are tough....just make sure you have removed all the screws (sometimes they put some in along with the clips) and to warn you sometimes the clips brake and you have to replace them there real cheep check your local ford dealer or auto parts store
