Rear hatch handle trim removal

My rear hatch handle is getting intermittant and sometimes I have to squeze it real hard to get the hatch to open. I ordered a new switch but I can not figure out how to remove the trim around the handle to replace it
I have removed the screws and tried to pry it off but it seems to be held in place around the sides of the handle. I did not pull the trim real hard as I did not know if it would snap out or if it was bolted in place from the inside of
the hatch. Any ideas on how to remove the trim????

You need to remove the trim from the inside the whole back cover has to come off.. they can easily be cleaned and made to work properly again.

I was hoping I would not have to.
