Arrow Rear Deck Lid Removal on 2010 - 2015 Camaro

So I recently started hearing a slight rattling in the rear deck lid of my 2014 ZL1 but I wasn't surprised as I had both 6x9's swapped out and I also have a JL 12w7 back there. I was sure things were going to start getting loose sooner than later. SO... It kinda also sounded like the speaker was "farting" if you know what I mean....those who've experienced this before will know. But, couldn't tell as the sound was still pretty crisp and very loud (I have Hertz ECX690's back there).

Now on my last Camaro, I didn't bother to do the removal and install of the rear deck lid the correct way. I cut corners and in turn, cracked the very front center of my rear deck lid. You couldn't see it when the seat was up so it wasn't all that big of a deal. But I definitely didn't want that happening again on the new ZL1.

So I went looking around on youtube for how to DIY videos. I found a bunch for other cars but not this one. WHAT?!?! That's pretty crazy... Yeah, I was very surprised. Anyway, I knew what I was doing for the most part so I just went at it. When just about complete, it dawned on me to do a quick video for others so they know what to do when this comes around and for when they want to change out their speakers.

Mind you, I was tired, it was hot as shit and I was sweating my ass off, I was full of jack and coke, and was PISSED off cause there's like.....literally no room in the back seat of my car for a big 6'3" 260lb guy like me to move around in. Oh, and the lighting SUCKED. With that, I just grabbed my phone and hit record. This is what I got. If it helps someone, great. If there's any questions, post up here or shoot me a PM. I'll get to you as soon as I can. Now....to get out of the house since...well, remember that slight farting sound I heard? Yeah, rear right 6x9 is blown. F***!!! So off to the local speaker shop I go for a new pair. Oh well, 5 years with those speakers ain't bad, I guess!
