This may help someone else, and I just wanted to use the shop's new dig. cam.
I did this car yesterday, and had to gut the back end to get the deck out. It has some hidden bolts, so here's some help. Start by taking 2 17mm bolts out of the armrest...then remove armrest.

Then remove 4 14mm bolts holding the seat frame down, 2 in the center and 2 on the outside...

pull insulation back and remove panels clips on both sides of plastic housing. Push two "zip clips" into the trunk, remove rubber seal, housing pops straight up

pull bottom part of C pillar trim back, remove upper trim piece, remove deck.

Bare deck, car seat anchors removed. This whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I don't cut around brake lights, but even if I did, this would've looked like crap. This car had NO brake light in the deck, just a flat, up-against-the-window piece of deck. Very odd. If this helps no one, at least I bumped up the ol' post count!!

That sure is alot of work. I had to do a few of them and this is what I do. There are about maybe 6 or 8 plastic plugs that you need to pry off that is between the seat and rear deck tray. You will also need to remove the side panels next to the rear window. After everything is removed, just slowly pry up the rear deck tray and slide it out. It is very hard to get the 2 ends out so you need to be patient and pull back on the sides of the rear seats a little. After you move the rear deck, you are good to go. The other way is to slip the film in between and use a clip board or something else to push out the soap solution. I love to tint those when they have the factory rear wing. The 3rd brake light is on the wing so there is nothing but a cover that you just remove and you have full access to the rear window minus the 2 ends that stick up which you can easily work around. Just make sure you charge more for those Infinity G35 coupes. The owners are usually very meticulous.






For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
