Rear Louver Hatch Glass Cleaning

Does anyone know how to 'open' the rear window louvers to clean the Hatch Glass? I see the Torx screws but was hoping there might be a latch or something to open it up. I have the original GM factory louvers.

you have to undo the 2 screws on both sides and the screws on the bottom. then they should lift up.
underneath there are two posts that you fold out and they keep the louvers up

Thanks a lot. Could you (or does anyone) have a picture showing what it looks like when the louver is lifted up?

When you put the screws back in I'd put a tiny bit on never seize on them.It'll keep them from corroding up on yah.
