Default Q's /help about removing rear deck lid part of the rear seats/under window

Hey does anyone know how to remove the rear deck lid or a DIY link as I searched but didn't find any or even on google. Looking for instructions how to remove the rear deck lid. As I need to get to the rear truck hindges to tweak it a little to get my vis carbon csl trunk fitted better.


If it matters I have the auto rear window shades.


Hope you guys can help me as of now i kinda hate the vis carbon trunk becuase of the bad fitment.



Thanks!

The fitment of the VIS trunk is about 98%...its not fitting that well because the OEM spring attached to the trunk is WAY too strong for the light cf trunk. Go to home depot and get a spring like this on each side:

SPECS: 1" x 8.5" x .120"

Everbilt 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. and 11/32 in. x 1-7/8 in. Zinc Plated Extension Springs (4-Pack)-16086 at The Home Depot

Oh nice! Okay thanks bro! So one side is a spring and one side is a shock. So just replace one side with the Home Depot spring. do i remove the shock and spring off and replace it with the hd spring or leave shock and install hd spring and remove stock spring off the shock? Thank
