Need to get at the tranverse re-enforcing bar under the rear carpet where it covers the rear seats under the removeable cushions. Everything seems pretty tight and I don"t want to either damage the carpet or fasteners. I am following Porsche TSB 010929 regarding rear seat well noise. Anyone BTDT? Thanks Tom

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE OUT?
Hi Brad, Thanks to you, I fouund the mentioned TSB. The 'heel plate" carpet is really jammed under the side panel which seems to be the same one which has the speaker in it, I don't know whether to take off the side panel or just try to pull the heel plate carpet out from under it. I can't see how to get the side panel off and don't want to damage anything. Any thoughts? Thanks Tom
it shound come out from the rear quarter panels easily. Just pry them up enough to pull the carpets out.
pull the rear trim panels with the speakers first then the seat backs then the carpet comes right out
