Trouble installing a top case...

I am trying to install a Givi case on my new PCX150 2015. The Givi case and its base is from an old Yamaha Vino 125. I have the Honda plate to install first before the Givi plate. The problem is that I can't remove the plastic form the back end where the mounting plate will be. I have it off already from the inside where the seat closes but the back all the way by the tail won't come off and I am afraid of breaking it.
I have searched and have found only instructions and videos of how to do this but only on the previous models. Is there any trick to get the plastic of from the back? There is a smaller plastic within the whole part that has a pair of rubber inserts, do I need to remove these?
Can anyone point me on the right direction? TIA

Manny - to get to the threads for the mounting bolts on the 2015, all you have to remove is the small plastic piece (about 6'' square). To do that, you have to disengage the plastic body rivets. Gently push down the center part of the rivets about 1/4 inch. Lift the plate up and forward 1/2 inch and it will come out. You will see the 4 threads for the mounting bolts. The grab rail does not have to be removed.

Thanks a lot BobS! I was desperate to install the case and kept looking on the web and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jic2VJy8rgg

I can't believe there is no thread about this here. Maybe I just could not find it.

Thanks for the information anyway!
