The specific steps to remove the trunk cover of the Tayron are as follows: 1. Lift the trunk cover, use a screwdriver to remove the screws, and then pry it off with a plastic panel. 2. When prying, work from the sides towards the center to avoid damaging the plastic trim panel and its clips. More information about the Tayron: 1.

I'm the kind of car owner who enjoys tackling minor issues myself. Removing the Tiguan's trunk cover panel is actually quite simple. First, empty all the loose items in the trunk to avoid getting in the way. The key is to locate the clip positions near the seat area of the panel. Reach in from the side with your hand, and you'll feel four plastic clips. Apply a bit of upward pressure, but don't use too much force to avoid breaking them. A clicking sound indicates the clips have released, then lift the entire panel upwards. Remember to apply even force on both sides to prevent one side from getting stuck while the other springs back. After removal, handle it gently as the panel is made of rigid foam and can easily get scratched. This comes in handy when changing a spare tire or cleaning dust from the trunk corners.
Last time I helped my neighbor remove the Tiguan's trunk cover panel. Before starting, make sure the trunk is fully open and clear all small items from the partition board. Focus on the front edge of the panel near the rear seats - there are four symmetrical plastic clips. Push upward against the clip positions using the heel of your palm until you feel loosening, then continue applying even force to lift the entire panel. Never use metal tools to pry as the clips can easily crack. Though appearing sturdy, the panel is actually made of foam plastic, so place it on a soft surface after removal. When reinstalling, align the clips and press firmly until you hear a clear click sound indicating proper repositioning. Always ensure the clip areas are dry during installation/removal - moisture can cause slipping and reduce grip.
I've had my Tayron for three years and have removed this cover panel several times. The steps are actually quite simple: empty the trunk and make sure nothing is pressing on the cover panel. Simply press the clip positions near the seat side with your hands and push vertically upward. Usually, once all four clips are released simultaneously, the entire panel can be removed. Putting it back is even easier—just align it and press downward. The design is quite user-friendly, requiring no tools. However, be careful with the felt on the back of the panel to avoid scratching it with sharp objects. Once removed, you'll find the onboard tools and spare tire hidden underneath, making it very convenient to clean out debris.
