Ok I got one of the clips that fell out !!! How hard do I need to yank the tailgate cover to get the sucker off ?! There's only two nuts and they are off!!!

yeah....u need to yank the tailgate cover upwards to get em off.
don't forget to remove the shopping hook/hanger on the left side.
there's another screw under the plastic trim next to where the parcel shelf hinges onto.

that's it - its a matter of prying it out, gently, to get all the boot carpet off.

Thanks for the tips guys ... worked out alright and managed to get out the clips that fell into the back cavity.

I'll add a few pics just to assist those with a liftback Mk2 VRS FL, which looks ever so slightly different from the MK1

Note position of the clips on the tailgate - push UPWARDS to get the trim off the tailgate.

I also came across a Octavia Mk2 workshop manual - look under body | trim noise insulations | luggage compartment trim panels .. and so on.

Skoda Workshop Manuals > Octavia Mk2 > Body > Body Work > Trim, noise insulation > Luggage compartment trim panels

Yes it was a COLD start .. that's ice on the windscreen .....
