W222 - Trunk Hazard triangle bracket removal

My 360 cameras stopped working just the other day, I had just washed the car so I suspect the rear camera got wet.

I decided to have a go and remove the trunk lid trim panel to take a look, however Im unable to remove the Hazard triangle bracket.

WIS doesn't give much detail just says to unclip it. Looks like it should slide to right or left and lift off the the white clips. Photos attached. It slides a little in either direction but not enough to remove it. I've tried using a little more force with a rubber mallet and a small piece of timber but it still wont come off the clips.

Anyone out there done this before? Any help much appreciated.

From photo, looks like you slide to the left, then lift left side off, then slide all the way to the right and lift off...

Thanks for the reply. Tried it again all the way to left no joy and all the way to right still no joy.

Tested the camera again front camera turns on for 2 seconds picture quality is poor and turns off saying 360 camera unavailable.

I suspect its water damage some where but i was careful, not to spray directly at any of the 4 cameras.

Only thing that was different was i washed the car 3 times the same day as I was decontaminating the paint work prior to waxing.

Just typical, as the wife said you should have left it dirty☹

Oh I feel stupid now. Cheers for that it's much appreciated.

Seeing as I don't know which camera it is that could be faulty, think I'll leave it for the dealership to figure it out.
