Default How to remove tailgate inside plastic cover?

I'm working on removing the plastic cover inside the tailgate hatch to access the rear wiper motor. The screws around the top section and the pull handle on the bottom have been removed. I don't see any screws on the bottom section but it is stil being held in place. Does this just pop/pry up? Before I start prying I just want to be reasonable sure it's not going to break.

Figured it out - used a broad, flat tool made for popping door crank clips and was able to pop the panel out without damage.
