Havent had to remove that particular panel yet but I would try prying those small squares off first. They probably cover fastener heads.

That is not how you remove that trim. Check my Avin install DIY for directions.

It can be found here: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-detailed.html

Edit: Wait, you are trying to install wires in the bottom portion for a reverse cam? Is it a license plate frame mounted camera? I believe the red reflector portions pry off. My DIY might still give you an idea of how it works, but I didn't run any wires in that bottom hatch. I did remove the trim though so maybe it will help.

Sorry then. If you take a look at this diagram you can probably figure it out. Shows the clips and screws you have to remove.
