Need to pop off the rear portion of the trim panel (the seat makes getting it all off difficult). Use a proper trim tool, but you may break a clip or two.
https://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-auto-trim-and-molding-tool-set-67021.html Bus Depot has all types of clips, just search for "panel clips."

On a similar vein, I fumbled my rear wiper fluid cap and it dropped bellow behind the trim molding. The cover was missing which probably facilitated my miscue.
Are there any options other than disassembling the molding? I couldn’t find a replacement online.
Thanks in advance
