Decklid Bezel Removal, How many bolts?

Remove this ad
I'm trying to prep my car for new LED lights. So far I found and removed 6 nuts. The Faq claims that their are 8-10 to be removed.
My decklid has dynamat on it so I'm actually working blind. With the 6 nuts I have removed, it still nut coming loose without a whole lot of pullin.
I have an 06. I will take and post a pic here shortly.

I do not want to pull all of this sound deadner off!!!

Give me 20 minutes- I need to give my son a bath, then I'm going to the garage to replace my LEDs as well. I'll post a pic.

Re: Decklid Bezel Removal, How many bolts?

All the void in the sound deadner is where I've removed nuts. The bezel pulls out a little but it feels like something is still holding it in the center.

Do I have to remove the license plate??

License plate can stay put. There's eight nuts total, and it practically falls out once they're off. I labeled them here with arrows.

Yeah, it looks like you're missing the recessed two- they'll be very hard to feel through the dynamat. I circled their approximate location on your pic.
