Help with F50 Coilovers

Fronts were cake work.Can not for the life of me figure out how to get to the top of the rear shocks to take them off.Cant get to it from the trunk so im assuming the rear deck lid needs to be removed but I cant figure out how to get it off and don't want to break anything.Any help is greatly appreciated

reach bottom rear seat and pull the levers to release the seats. Levers are on both sides of the seat. Pull seat out of car. I believe there are 2 or 4 10-12mm bolts on both sides of the backseat and you have to pull out the armrest back cover and there are 2 10mm bolts and a plug you have to disconnect for the rear window visor controls.

Basically yo uhave take the rear seats out and then you will have access to the shock tower...however there isn't too much room but manageable. You do not have to take the deck off whic I tried once and couldn't figure it out.

If you have the reclining rears, you need to take the headrest off first or the seat wont come out
