Default Boot cover panel removal

Hi.
Sorry if this has been covered before but:
I have a noisy motor on the nearside release latch for the boot cover and I am trying to get at it.
I removed all the screws on the side panel I could see and the two bolts but the top won't release.
Is there a hidden screw behind the rubber bump stop?
I have tried to remove the rubber but it won't budge and is just tearing.
Can someone give me some pointers please?
Many thanks
Derek

I will try and post a photo. Thank you for the Lid trim panel but it's inside of the car I am trying to remove the trim from. The one above the rear lights on the inside of the car that carries the motor to release the shelve and has the runner in it for the shelf itself.

You have to remove 5 screws (marked blue on the photo). There are still 2 plastic clips under the panel (in location marked red). You have to just pull the panel out to the right direction.
