The carpet covering the latching mechanism for the hatch has 4 snaps that run across the top. Pull those out, then just yank the whole back piece off. The bases for the targa do not need to be removed, just pull the carpet out. Then the floor. Start with the storage bins, they have a plastic frame around them so just pill on it and it snaps out. The hooks on the wheel-wells for the targa have a plastic base that just snaps off. After you pull those off, you can pretty much just yank the whole carpet out. The carpet is tucked in under the plastic where the rear speakers are. Dont be afraid to just tug on it and pull it out from under the plastic. Its just the edges of the carpet so when you reinstall just use a screwdriver to push it back under the plastic. Hope this makes some sense!

No wonder there is so much noise from the bullets, there is nothing back here but thin plastic and fiberglass.
