I have a quite prominent rattle in the rear shelf. I think it may be the power shade.

Anyone have instructions on how to remove the shelf or get to the power shade components?

thanks

There was an excellent thread about it last weekend, try with "Search" function, as I'm not so familiar with it, ...seems so tricky to me

I'm always getting 25 pages of results :thumbsdown:

On page 2 of the PDF, they talk about releasing the expander rivets. Is this just a matter of pulling on them to release them? Pop them out?

If I can horn in here as well: I tried removing the A pillar trim (I followed the PDF), and met resistance while pulling it away from the body. According to the PDF, it is attached toward the bottom by some sort of plastic clip, but it doesn't say how to remove it.

Do I just pull until it pops out? I'm a little concerned about breaking it off and not being able to put the piece back on....
