Removal of rear panel?

[Infinity08]

2008 ST

How do I remove the rear wall panel (that includes the subwoofer grill/storage thingy)? I don't want to just randomly yank if one of you guys knows where and what kind of connectors are there. Thanks guys.

all you need to do is start in the back, and run from the back corner up finding all the circular shaped nail-things (idn what they're called) pull right there, and at the bottom, you have to pull the carpet back a little bit, i think. it's not that hard of a process, and all you really have to do is yank. on the floor, though. there may be screws, i remember having to unscrew stuff on the floor, but i'm pretty sure that wasn't from the plastic outer panel.

Is this specific to the 07+ ST? The carpet is behind the panel, but it looks like you may be correct. It appears to just be a slew of spring clips holding it in. I just want to make absolutely sure not to cause any of those whitish stress marks when I go at it.

well i have a 98, but it should be a pretty basic thing, pull them out, and when you're putting it back up, push them in.

They stopped using the little "CHristmas Tree" push pins many years back, and tend to now have plastic hooks and spring clips. I was mostly checking to see if anyone found any funky new fasteners. Now I hope I can find enough time to finish with overtime and trying to beat the wife's labor. I figure I have about a 37 minute window to do my install :
