Removing rear deck?

Does anyone know how to do it?
I was thinkin that the screws behind the rear seats (when you pull the backseat foward) remove it but I cant try it because my car is in the shop

I tried doing the same. U have to remove the screws and remove the plastic cover. From there u just pop the deck up. The only problem is that u have to remove the seatbelt harness in order to complety remove the reardeck. Its kind of confusing and the seats make it more dificult to work around. If u know how to remove the rear seats go for it. I think it will be easier for u to work with the rear deck.

I know what you ment... I forget now, but the cover might be held down by some of this, thats why you might have to remove them.

the actual rear deck can't come off, is welded to the top of the wheel wells. kinda acts like a rear strut bar..

First you need to remove the panels covering the C-pillars. Be very careful when doing this because one of the friction fittings (the orange one) can be a bear to get loose. I recommend getting a panel popper tool. Autozone has them for a few bucks. Second, you need to fold your rear seats down and take out the bolts holding the frame for the rear seat in place. Four of the bolts are located behind the panels covering the folding seat latches. Third, remove the rear door sills. These are also held down by friction fittings. Once the sills are out, you can pull the rear seat frame forward. Last, you can slide your hand under the rear deck and carefully start popping the friction fittings holding it loose. One word of warning, pay close attention to the locations of the friction fittings because when you go to put the deck back together, you have to make sure all of them are seated back down or your deck will rattle.

Same Problems

I have an 06 max sl and I have a center console in the backseat so my seats do not fold down. I want to know how to remove the backseats so I can get to the rear deck?
