Dash Cam Fitted

Hi all
I’m looking to install a front and rear dash cam and wondered if anyone has any diagram or instructions on how to remove the panels from the rear hatch as well as the A Pillars?
Had look online but couldn’t find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you drive a 4 Series, why are you asking on an F40 forum?

Because I hadn’t updated my profile. Thanks for that

These should be useful.
Possibly helpful advice: put a very light smear of silicone grease, or a gentle puff of dry PTFE spray, on every plastic clip before reinstalling. Helps with reassembly, and it makes a further dismantling much easier and less likely to break a clip.
