Hey all,I have been slowly adding sound dampening to my 09 Vibe in order to get a quieter ride on the highway. I have already added some damplifier to all of the doors as well as the rear hatch. I've been trying to remove the trunk trim pieces but some of the pieces will not come out. Anyone have any experience removing the trim pieces from the trunk? I want to add some dampening to the rear quarter panel as well as the wheel hump. ThanksJay

I have no idea but am curious as well - I would like to add lowering springs but don't want the kids at the tuner shop screwing up the rear plastic covers.Anyone?

Take out the floor pieces. Then remove the bolts from the jack and tire tool trays (one each), and the bolts and child seat anchors from the the tray behind the rear seat. All the trays will lift out. Pull up on the trim at the bottom of the hatch opening and it comes right off. Take out the bolts that hold the hooks and rings, and then you can pull the lower trim panels loose. You'll probably have to lay the rear seats down to separate the lower panel from the upper.

thanks! Sounds like something I can easily do myself and then reinstall after the springs are in.Now, just need to get the springs.
