Hence my original question was the lining removable with the door closed.
I think if you read post 33 you'll see the area of the hose break mentioned and if you read the post 54 you'll see I answered that the trim can be pried of with the hatch closed but you have to be in the trunk to do it of course. I think a vacuum opens the locks, you can also get at the hoses by taking the wheel cover trim off and blow or suck on the air line for the hatch and passenger door, naturally from inside the closed trunk again.
