[s-cars] Help with C4 Avant rear hatch trim - roller blind removal

Like all C4 Avants, my 98 C4 Avant hatch trim squeaks and rattles.  I
removed the trim as per the hints at the AudiWorld UrS-car FAQ:

(Wow, no more squeaking while driving!!).

Now my question is " Is there a way to remove the roll-up screen from
the rear trim?"

Looking at the big piece with the hidden flaps and the roller screen, I
can see the pointy ends of two screws that seem to hold the screen box
in place. However, at this point, I can't see how to get at those screws
from the head end OR whether this will help (there might be bits that
are welded plastic).

Any help will be appreciated.

PS: I am planning on taking photos of the disassembly/assembly to show
better where the various clips are, etc.

(Found out that the Audi service guys didn't know how to remove the
trim. Several broken bits, including the hidden screws - neither was
actually screwed in and one tab was busted away from the trim (fixable
with JB weld).
