Tailgate cover removal

[redwon]

Hi All
New Member here, be gentle.
I am looking for a bit of advice to remove the plastic cover on the inside of my Golf V5 2001 tailgate. I keep getting a warning that the luggage compartment is open. I may have a water leak from the rear wiper washer, and possibly causing a false signal. I have had a look at removing it, and found two screws set inside the hand wells, but am not sure what else is holding it on. Can anyone help.
Many Thanks
Dave
