How do you remove the inner panel on an HHR lift gate?

To remove the inner panel on an HHR lift gate, first, ensure the vehicle is off and the lift gate is closed. Use a trim removal tool or a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off any clips or screws securing the panel, typically located around the edges. Once all fasteners are removed, carefully lift the panel away from the lift gate, taking care not to damage any wiring or connectors attached to it. Be sure to handle the panel gently to avoid breaking any plastic clips.
