Has anyone replaced a faulty electronic tailgate strut on a Stelvio? Bought a replacement to replace a faulty one. Just trying to work out which trim pieces need to be removed from the interior to get to the plug. It looks like it's under the headliner. Thanks in anticipation of any responses.

For future reference the process is basically:
- unplug battery
- remove the trim piece in the boot with the rear seat drop down lever is (screw to start with - under the lever)
- Remove trim piece above - one screw in the SRS airbag sign
- tug on these slowly to release clips
- there is another trim piece under this - one screw to remove and then clips
- this should give you enough room to reach and unplug the tailgate strut connector.
- unclip the strut ball joints
- replace and put back together
