How do you remove the inside rear hatch panel to access a broken lock in a 1998 Cherokee Sport when the door is closed?

To remove the inside rear hatch panel of a 1998 Cherokee Sport with the door closed, you’ll need to carefully pry off the plastic trim pieces surrounding the panel. Use a flat tool or a trim removal tool to avoid damaging the clips. Once the trim is off, look for screws securing the panel and remove them. After detaching the panel from the clips, gently pull it away to access the lock mechanism.
