I have a "Grand Prix" sticker that is supposed to go right on the 3rd tail light above my trunk. I know how to change the lights for that light, but to get to the red plastic is where I'm lost.
Is the cover inside of the car behind the rear seats just held on with Christmas trees and I'm just supposed to rip that off like dashboard work?
Or is there something I can't see?

Remove back seat bench and seat back. Remove the rear deck shelf.

Christmas trees? Interesting name for panel retainers. Anyway, yes, three hold it in, but their hidden behind the seat back.

removing the back seat really isn't that hard. I'm not sure about the brake light, but I know the speakers are not accessible through the trunk

The lights are accessible from the trunk, but that's about it.

Yes, I know the lights are accessable through trunk which I have already done. It's the red plastic cover to make the lights red that I need to get to the front of. My buddy came and double checked getting to it all through the seats and it checks out so I'm gonna do that. He did his amp wiring though it so he knew. thanks everybody.
