i now in the hatch, you pull down the fabric stuff inside the trunk, and there are a bunch of like 10mm nuts holding them in, and there is also goop. I would imagine there there is the same type of setup in teh coupe.

it's prettty simple undo all the screws that are on the inside of the car, and start at the edges and use a flathead screwdriver to pry/pop it out,

The goop is pretty strong. Use a flathead to pry them off. Careful not to chip any paint or break the lights.

A heat gun or hot blow dry will make you life much easier. It's really fast with little effort. The goop heats up and push it out with your hand.
