Need help QUICK!

I have all my new speakers and stuff and I'm going to attempt the installs in the morning. The only thing that I haven't figured out (I think) is how to remove the trim panel in the hatch on the driver's side. Have to remove that to remove the speaker. No visible screws or fasteners. Has any body done this? I don't wanna get pissed and rip it out like I did the speaker grille on the driver's door. PLEASE HELP!

If the passengers side has those cheap plastic fasteners on the top the drivers should to.

passenger's side has the little rotating "locks" that you stick a quarter in to turn. Turn those and that side just pops off to access the spare. Driver's side is different. I just don't want to break the fasteners trying to remove it. Since I can't see them, I wondered if anybody knew what kind they are and where they are.

Ok it looks like the panel is attached under neath via plastic **** pieces. They snap easily though- reach under and slide the piece towards the opening and the first one will come loose. Work your way accross and take your time.
