About once a year you just have to buck up and do this

That dead fly or that piece of white lint stuck behind the speaker against the glass that you can't seem to get to with any needle tip vacuum. You've tried for 6 months every time you wash your car to get to that spot behind the speaker and it just isn't happening.

I find that about once a year it is time for me to win the fight. Yank the back out and clean the hell out of the back deck.

Just grab the front of the lower seat and pull up hard.

4 bolts along the bottom of the rear upper seat and lift up and you're done.

So, originally I saw your thread and thought 'lucky I don't have anything stuck back there' and then today ... I noticed .... A SINGLE PINE NEEDLE!!! (I think I'm going to just come to terms with it being there)

It's too late, you've already noticed. You are doomed until you remove it.
