Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am doing a PSS9 install in cayman and had some trouble figuring out how to get all the trim removed from the top of the rear strut towers. I read the article in the install posted here, but it showed the tab on the speaker cover holding in the last torx screw being cut to avoid removing the head liner on the c pillar. I'd rather not do it this way and risk additional squeeks and rattles. But cannot find a decent diagram that shows the rear trim and its clips, etc... Can anybody that has pulled this out on their own offer some tips?? Thanks Dave

I would suggest looking at my article that shows the removal (for painting) of the rear hatch pieces including the strut tower. It shows where you have you to take the upper trim off to get to the screw/tab on the strut tower piece. It is a pain in the butt! FYI I'm going to be installing the PSS9 Damptronic system sometime soon (the one for cars with PASM - I assume you don't have PASM), and will obviously do a big article on that as well. Let me know how you like the regular PSS9 when you get it on!
