08/Z4MC disassemble rear hatch

[grannyknot]

There is a lip in the metal surrounding the rear glass and the water seems to pool there, as result I have a small rust spot that goes right to the edge of where the glass starts.
So will have to disassemble the hatch to repair the area, has anybody come across a diagram or procedure for disassembly?
There doesn't seem to be any obvious screws or anything, I don't want to damage the trim work.
Thanks,
Chris

You can access the newtis site?! I thought it was taken down due to BMW legal shenanigans. I still can't access it. [sorry to thread jack]

Do you have pix of what you are referring to? It's not ringing a bell for typical water related issues I seen on the forums over the years.

Follow my link and then click on the Right to Repair.
I borrowed this pic from another thread, do see the lip around the glass that slopes inward, water collects there.
