Take a putty knife and run around the outside between the plastic and the metal tell u hit the clips. Pry out easy tell they pop out and the rest is removing. Screws from the little strap in the middle of the hatch on the inside. Not much to pulling the trim off its just a ford.

If you really want detailed pictures for something like this, I'd suggest buying a Haynes/Chilton manual from your local auto parts store. There's detailed instructions with pictures to take apart every single part of your vehicle.

Le tailgate panel removal is in here:



what other panels are you looking to remove? I've pretty much pulled them all off of mine (01 explorer think it's 92- 01 or 95-01 that have have minor changes)

The more you deaden, the louder it will get... and the better it will sound while getting loud. But you should be able to reinstall the trim panel without losing any sound quality or pressure, provided it doesn't rattle.
