    I removed most of them to install backup camera, but last big two things do not come out.

    Covering bottom area and license place area. They are stuck. I cannot just give excessive force.

    Bottom trim has small halls at the side so inserted trim removal tool and it poped around that area but thats it. I've checked but could not find any holding nuts and bolts. Any idea?

    Sure thing... here are the directions for the Nav camera install, straight from Toyota Europe. Happy hacking!

    Be sure to lay down some tape wherever you pry; these plastic pieces scratch very easily.

    Hmmm... It looks like they have removed the instructions. I get an Error 404 when I try to access the page. :mad:

    i get that error from time to time too..... try the doc i just attached, it's from their website. i also agree with others, lay down painters tape when removing the outer panel outside the hatch.

    i also highly suggest the panel removal tools which you can get from amazon for <$11 bucks.

    one thing to note is that the rubber tube from the hatch to the headliner is a POS and got me very angry during the install

    Thanks for the file! It contained what I needed to see. Costco.com is having a sale on backup cameras (not the Prius camera) and if I decide to get one it will help me there, too. >>Pat

    I wanted the instructions to see how the license plate nuts are mounted. I've had my plates stolen before so I tried to use security screws to hold on these plates, as I had on my 93 Camry: big mistake! I damaged the nuts. I'll have to re-thread them and see if I can get security bolts to fit.

    TY very much for this file. It was instrumental in helping me removing the interior plastic pieces to get at my damaged rear spoiler bolts.
