Removing interior tailgate trim panel V70-XC70 1998

Greetings--

My '98 V70's rear hatch interior trim panel has fallen off. I purchased IPD's repair kit, but I'm having a world of trouble getting the panel off the car to install the kit.

Step one in IPD's instructions says...

"Remove the inside hatch handle trim by prying along the top of the trim between the carpet and the plastic trim. Do not pry from the bottom of the trim, as there are lock tabs along the bottom. The top of the trim is where it clips. It will be tight, so use a strong putty knife or scraper"

They are not kidding. I've been prying on that thing with all manner of tools for about an hour, and there is no way that trim piece is going to come off without breaking it. Are the instructions wrong for my particular model, or am I an idiot? I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give some detailed, accurate instructions for removing this trim panel without destroying it.

Thanks,

Phil "I Hate Trim" Mastman
1998 V70 AWD
