Default Removing rear seat, sunshade problem

Hey guys. My rear sunshade got stuck half way. I can raise it manually and the motor works.

How do I remove the back seat to access the sun shade mechanism?

could possibly be same as the IS?

1. pop the seat cushion by pulling the seat upwards. the cushion should pop off easily. push the seatbelt buckles through the slots. the cushion now can be removed completely.

2. At the bottom end of the seatback, there are 4 black 12mm bolts that secure the seatback. one of each near the door and two of them are near the center console. DO NOT remove the seatbelt anchor bolts which are 14 mm. lift the seatback to free it from the three upper clips.

3. remove the C pillar cover. start from the lower edge and just using fingers to carefully pry them off. each piece should be held down by three blue plastic clips.

4. pop off the rear deck by lifting the front edge carefully. it's held down by three clips.

5. you now have access to the subwoofer or the brake light. the subwoofer is secured by four 10 mm bolts.

Think you can post up the diagram just in case mine ever goes out of alignment?
