[NotYet]

Sorry for posting this again, but I figured it might be seen a bit more if it were its own thread (as opposed to the other thread I tried to bring back life).

I want to tint my rear windshield w/o having to cut around the 3rd brake light. So, how do you remove the third brake light? I know how everythig SHOULD come apart w/ the exception of the rear side cushions. Unfortunately, all steps to removing the brake light hinge off the removal of the rear side cushions! UGH.

I know you fold down the back seats.
Remove a bolt from each of the rear side cushions towards the side/bottom (in the carpet area)
But there is one clip that holds the entire rear side cushion in place. I have no idea how to get that clip to release!!!

There is a flat metal piece that is horizontal and then turns down once it 'disappears' into the trunk area. If you use a screw driver or a panel remover, you can squeeze it in and you can feel the piece holding it all in place actually move back. Pulling the cushion back and/or up makes no difference, something is still holding it.

I've read the LX Service Manual (for '06) but I can't find how to remove this piece. The part I'm referring to is circled in red.

Thanks in advance.
