Replacing rear view camera... need help

[bquist]

Anybody know how to remove the camera from the tailgate? Do you need to get the chrome trim piece of also? I have removed all the screws but it is not loose so it needs to be pried of, but I want to know where I should put the force when getting it off.

Please search these forums for threads (...old) on upgrading the camera. Yes, you need to pull the trim/applique which is held on with adhesive (3M tape). Then you see the applique mounting bracket (grey plastic). See:
