Default Removing trunk liner?

Is it a pain to remove the trunk liner to access the dampening on your coils? I bought trunk entenders for my coils but wasnt going to have my installer put them on. My dampening is already set and if the extenders are put on and not aligned properly it will throw my clicks off. I want to do it myself over the weekend. let me know guys

I made some custom cutouts myself. I made a cardboard template and used a steak knife to cut holes in the trunk carpet. I bought two extra OEM trunk access covers (the plastic pieces that cover the access holes for the tail lights). Works perfectly.

I usually have somethig in my trunk, so to me it is a pain because I would have to take all that stuff out. Making these cutouts solved that problem.

Thanks! I managed to pull one from a junkyard wreck. I got the part number from that too.
