Pull the hatch up.
The hatch is open and resting on its hinges.
Reach into the cargo hold and push the cargo hatch upwards near the hinges.
The cargo hatch lifts out from the hinges.
When the cargo hatch is free from the hinges and fully loose, pull it out from the trunk.
Place the cargo hatch where it cannot get damaged or fall.
