Removing rear deck

[cwoodman]

Been doing some research on here and still havent found an answer to this. Need to remove my rear deck and back seats and wondering if anyones done this and how it comes off? Thanks in advance.

Do you have a hatch? If so, it just snaps off it's hinges. Undo the 2 little ropes, and hit the bottom of the cover, close to the hinges.

The seats should simply unbolt from their hinges, to remove the rear package shelf you're going to have to break out your reciprocating saw.

I'm currently removing the plastic rear deck (including the 3rd brake light) so my tint guy will do a better job on the edges and also so he'll tint the window behind the 3rd brake light. I'm also trying to remove the rear seat belts. There's wings on the edges that hook under the plastic wall/airbag. I was hoping to find some guidance on removing that portion but it seems I'll just have to go balls deep instead.

When ppl say "just pull til the clip released" for these cars, theyre not joking

There's an airbag under the rear deck panel on a sedan? (pic #2)

Only the upper panels (wall/pillar) and seatback pillar (each side of seat back) has airbags.

Shoulder seat belts weight 1.6lb each

tint the window behind the 3rd brake light.

I'm confused. Why would you want to make your brake light less visible to the drivers behind you?
