I've done several cars worth of rear tails on Passat wagons and at this point, I unbolt and remove the seat backs, pop off the metal trim at the bottom of the hatch and then remove the entire plastic trim piece(s) in the rear cargo area. It takes about 5-10 minutes but after that everything else is so much easier.
It should pop straight up. There are 5 or so plastic clips that hold it down. This is from memory but I think that is how it is.
