F48 2017 Trunk trim removal

Hello,

I'm about to install wiring for a tow hook and need to remove the trim in the trunk, right hand side as well as the bottom well and the metal looking plastic by the bumper.
Has anyone here done it and can provide some advice on where the fasteners are?

clear your trunk and the cover first
then use hand to pull out the base cober trim near the lock...try to search this clip
there are 4 clips if I still remember
you have the pry out the head to release the expanded tail of the nut. after that you may take out the plastic trims.
I forgot that if you have to remove the side trim as well...try the base cover first

after removing the plastic trim, get a t20 screw driver and unscrew left and right screws...which were a big helix one
