A Little Guidance

So I'm looking to sound dampen the rest of the car this weekend. The only thing I have left is around the back windows or the whole area around the back windows.
Does anyone know the best way to go about taking the panels off the sides in the back. Are there any tricks or things I should aware of doing or not doing, and what all do I have to take off other than the panels in order to get them off.

The only thing I recommend is if your taking the rear a pillars off, be careful with them as they are cheap and if they get bent they don't like to stay in place on the rear deck when reinstalled.

u need a T55 torx for the seat belt on both sides.

Start with the C pillars then the top part by the back windows and finally the bottom piece touching the seat. It may or may not be easier with the rear seat out depending on how good you are at removing it. If you do want to do so i would do the top pieces first, c pillar and top panel by the window then finally remove to bottom on the seat before the last quarter panel piece.

If you have any questions especially on where the clips are located im pretty sure i have it memorized

I had planned on removing the seats to do it, but had failed to remember about the seatbelts. Lucky for me I picked up a really nice torx set about a month ago.

As for the clips, I have one of those panel removal tools, that should be all I need or is there any other tools I should pick up.
It looks like this


BTW- Thanks for the info

ya that should be good. Honestly with the bigger panels the clip removal tool becomes less useful. Try with your hands first then if you don't get anywhere use the tool. Use moderate force and "wiggle"
