There is a pin in the taillight that needs to be pulled straight to the side. Do not leverage it or the taillight might crack. My 2002 Sienna has 2 pins. By pulling the taillight assembly straight out sideways (perpendicular to the side the car), with a little gentle leverage from above and below, it popped out nicely. Be careful and gentle.

You can access it by removing the three screws which retain the glove box and then remove the glove box itself. You then remove the duct between the blower motor assembly and the heater assembly.
Forget about the Toyota; Buy American.
Remove the pull strap by removing the cover (it slides up towards the rear window). Next, remove the Phillips screw holding the strap assembly. Use a screwdriver (cover it with a cloth so it doesn't scratch the paint) to pop out the panel from the fasteners. It seems intimidating but I just did it and it is fairly easy.
