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

I started to Pry with small flathead didn't seem to budge

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.

Yes I'm trying to run the wires under it for a reverse camera. Looked at your link. Couldn't figure it out..

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.
