It's then just hanging on a few clips and will just just pull off. IIRC there are two clips in the centre that are bigger and stronger and need care to realign when refitting.

I've just managed to break the OSR number plate light housing as one of the bolts is stuck and is just turning in its housing. This is probably all due to excess water rusting up the bolts for the number plate lights in my boot which I think I've now fixed with Sugru.

Thanks Andrew (HPsauce) for this nugget of info. I'm going to need to take off the boot lid inner lining to fix/repair.
