How can I remove the rear clusters on a 2010 Hatch
I've got slime growing in the rear clusters on my 2010 WRX S hatch 
Any idea how I can remove the lights and dismantle to clean them or do I need to find a Subaru stealer and moan at them till they do something ?

I'm no expert on hatches, ugly things that they are. You'll probably find the answer in the Haynes Rover 25 manual, isn't that what the hatch is based on? LOL
Seriously, if you remove the trim from around the inside of the boot, all will PROBABLY be revealed: a number of nuts on the ends of the captive studs from the light cluster, and a sticky substance between light cluster and body,(which, incidentally, needs replaced
) Carafax is a good replacement/
BUT: unless the slime is INSIDE the light unit, you might get it from around/inbetween them by scrubbing with a toothbrush and some spray bleach?
IF it's inside, how did it get there? Check for cracks, splits, dings etc.
