    Hi all,
    I'm new, just starting to try and do some small stuff myself to start to keep dealer repair costs under control (while I'm generally happy with my 2002 Prius, it has not been totally trouble-free).

    How does one remove the cover clips on the upper side of the trunk? I need to access the back of the licesne plate to drill out some rusted screws. These clips look different than the ones on the bottom of the trunk and I can't quite figure out how they work.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi and welcome to PriusChat!

    Hmm, the owner's manual should give some insight. I don't recall any clips on the Camry so I'm not quite sure how they look like.

    Yeah, unfortunately all the manual says is to remove them, no clues as to how.

    Anyone?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    stick a flat blade screw driver in the little slot (right thru it) and pop them out. Or you can spend some money and buy a panel removeal tool to pop them out. It takes a bit of effort but they just pop out. Forget unscrewing them you'll be there for ever.
