i'm just scared i would disconnect the battery, then close my trunkby accident. I do stupid stuff like that. LOL.

Me too.

Especially with the trunk finisher, I'm totally paranoid about it as I have no folddown seat.

Even if you did there is no way to get from the car into the boot anyway.

If you don't disconnect the battery you will need to be really quick in the installation otherwise you will get a flat battery. Also you will need a helper who will hold the door panels close the the door so that you don't have to disconnect any wires. Just disconnect the battery and do it at leisure.
