Removing the Inside the Truck Back Deck Carpet

[karak]

Is it possible to remove that back deck carpet under the sub to take a look at a couple things or does that involve removing the rear seats. I see a lot of teardowns but most are the entire thing and not just that item.
This is in a 2012 Sedan

You mean like this:

Start by removing the weather seal along the back of the trunk near the bottom of the rear window. Be careful because a tar like adhesive is used and gets on everything. You will notice several black metal clips that look like bands. Push these up to release them from the metal edge. After that disconnect the trunk lights and carefully drop the upper rear insulation shelf. It is attached with several plastic body clips and is tucked into the other panels on the sides and back. As you can see in the picture it will drop down giving lots of space to "tinker".
