#271494 U just pull the knob off, then theres a screw under the latch that once u take it out the plastic will come off. If u have 2 pull n wiggle it out. Mine came off easy.

#285059 Best thing for interior panels is getting the proper tools. But yea just pop the knob off with a flat head or something

#286975 The plastic piece that you put your finger on to open the hatch, slides off the piece of metal. it pulls straight off I believe. With the latch in closed position (when you're not holding it open) I push in on the tip of the plastic a bit.. then i wiggle it off. Then remove screw and the panel just has clips holding the rest on
