    Hey everyone.

    Well... daggumit... My wife's 22 Limited's Lift Gate Trim piece (called the "Lift Gate Finish Panel") was vandalized last night (the only night in a year that we've left it out... garage was full of stuff from cleaning out an elderly relative's house...).

    It appears that someone decided to steal it and pried it loose, broke the clips and all that.. Apparently, they got scared and left it hanging by the wires before removing it completely.... Camera and liftgate release switches work normally, so lucky there.

    The parts are less than my deductible, so I'm going to try to DIY replace it myself... I've found some videos on YouTube and apparently you need to pull off the internal rear trim panel to access the clips. I circled the part that is damaged.

    Question - has anyone had to replace this piece? If so any guidance on doing it?
