If I remember right, you may have to use a flat blade screwdriver covered in rag or tape and try prying it from the boot. The clips are quite strong and need a little assistance. They can also break if you're too rough.

Have you pulled the rear seat forward and taken the screw out where the seat clips onto its holder? Its hidden away so you cant see it unless you pull the seat forward.

it does take some pressue to pull the trim off as said its on 3-4 big clips.

The pipes are inside after the trims off. Easy fix. Did mine yesterday in 5 mins! Can see out the back window now!

Take the 2 screws out of the handles on the boot trim, them get a large flat head screwdriver, the biggest you can find. First pull the trim down over the boot latch, then up near the top corner of the boot trim, the part closest to the top of the window, force the plastic down, if you look inside you see 2 clips, spray them with WD40 and use a flat head to dislodge them, do the same on the other side and then give the whole trim a good pull down and it should pop off.
