Removing rear deck 98 civic

[T!mmy]

Alright I was wondering if anyone has a website or can walk me through on how to remove the rear deck...I want to do this because I am getting some rattle and so inturn I am going to fix it but first I need to get the deck out. Plus I figure around Christmas I'm going to replace every interior speaker plus I'll be adding subs so this rattle needs to be eliminated.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

T!MMY!

its not easy especially cuz you are cramped in the back seat. i can't remember exactly how i did it when i replaced mine( i have a 97 coupe) but i know you have to put both seats down, and pop out the left and right panels(the plastic panels to your left and right if you were sitting in the back seats). you have to pop them out just enough so you can pull the rear deck up. you will see how it is overlapped by them. the rear deck itself just pops out(i think, you may want to climb in your trunk and look for any bolts, but i think its just plastic pin things that keep it in place) and so just pop it up and pull it out. be careful tho, make sure you disconnect your 3rd brake light bulb. then you will have access to your rear 6x9 speakers. goodluck

bingo. Just that. no bolts. Nothing, it's just pinned down by the two side panels and connected at the 3rd brake light.
