Question Help with my Tailgate Handle Replacement Please

So my tailgate handle broke. I have bought a new one from Dorman and found a nice how to video on Youtube. However, my truck has a spray on bedliner which I think is covering the bolts that hold the tailgate cover in place. Can someone with the same truck as I, its a 2002 Supercrew with the narrow tailgate, please send me a picture of their tailgate, so I can try to find these screws without scraping all the bed liner off?

Thanks in advance.
Mike

I think that may be your only option is to do it because even if you got the screws out the liner is holding it down.

Thanks guys for the pics. Im hoping to be able to remove those 6 screws and then make a horizontal cut in the bedliner to remove that panel without making too much mess.
