Riptide

Are there any diagrams out there on how to pull the rear deck apart behind the rear seats? I have a noise I need to track down and it's coming from that area. To fix it I need to get at the bare metal on the rear deck. Diagrams or a service manual showing how that comes apart would be nice to have if it's out there.

I don't know how to remove the board, but I had a vibration that was coming from the board and metal vibrating against one another so I shoved some blue shop towels inbetween them. You can get to the underside from in the trunk. Try this before removing anything.

Thanks I'll give that a try can't hurt. I noticed from the underside through a few exposed holes you can see the insulation blanket between the rear deck and the bare metal. I have some cotton t-shirts that I could shove in between there in a couple places, maybe make it fit tighter. If that fixes it I'll just cancel the appointment I made with the dealer to fix this.

Long story short I found a guide in the appearance section on removing that parcel shelf - looks like a bit of a PITA.
