the triangular window trim? its loose all the way up to the corners of the rear window, i can lift the shelf and it all seems to hinge along the window if that makes sense....

i had to push the carpet shelf and force it out by pushing a screw driver in through the holes under the metal shelf, it was well glued!

Has anyone ever fitted speakers in this rear shelf on a saloon i was thinking of trying this but to look at from inside the boot it looks like it may not be possible :scratch

I just fitted huge magnet vibe 6x9s.. Best way is to hold them under the shelf from in the boot and drill screws up into the shelf. Basically fitting them from the underside. No need to cut the shelf that way and maintains the structural integrity.
