you can take off the rear brake light. Go into the trunk to remove the bolts/screws

i dont have any tint on the rear right now, when putting it on i was unable to fit my hand in the brake light area to smooth out the bubbles.

Is there a site a way i can find out how to take off the rear panel over the speaker to get rid of the brake light hump, i looked at it and cant find the screws that are holding the panel on.

Honestly, I wouldn't try to do it yourself...it will end up looking like crap and even though you have to pay for it you will thank yourself in the long run.

easy... look under the rear deck... thiers ruffly 6 or so somewhat large marble size white pins...
with some pliers squize them and push them up.....

also pull the side panels either off or pull them inwards... i didnt remove mine BUT it would be easier to remove the rear deck.

its not to tuff just takes time! easier to use two sets of pliers and work your way from one side..
hardest part is puting it back on.... cause those snaps move and fall outta the mounting points i still have yet to take mine out again and glue the snaps inplace so they wont fall out while puting it back in!

dont be scared to pull preaty hard on the front of the rear deck.. thiers a few other snaps that hold preaty good thier...
