Congrats...we knew you could do it. Now we wanna know why you did it.
I'm creating a custom system into my car and was looking for an idea and it'* actually not turning out too bad after going thru a sh*tload of obstacles. I'll get pictures when I'm done.

My understanding is once the back seat it out. There are 4-6 plastic push ins that hold the deck in place. Disconnect and remove the speakers first, disconnect the wiring for the third brake light and it should pull forward and up. Randy said it was a pain, but doable.

Going to try a piece of banding material like is used to tie down mobile homes to see if I can get them out. I'll notch it to fit under the plastic pieces.
I find that I have to get creative sometimes with tool selection when removing the push-in fasteners. Normally, I would use the tool designed for this type of fastener which actually looks like a nail puller but sometimes use a pair of needle nose pliers to be able to grip the stem while prying upward. Other times they are in there so tight that I just cut the heads with a pair of diagonal cutters and spend the $0.69 for new fasteners.
