I am attempting to remove the rear speaker compartment, as well as the carpet piece and the engine cover so I can inspect my air filter. We have had a rather intense pollen season and I suspect that the filter is in need of replacement. I was hoping to do a quick removal and inspection of the filter this evening so I could pick up a new one and replace if need be over the weekend.

I followed some instructions from the Pelican Parts website (as well as a video I found) which is great up to the point where I need to disconnect the rear speaker shelf (which is not part of the Pelican Parts instructions nor the video I found).

I can see the clip where the speaker wire attaches but not certain how to get it to disconnect and I do not want to break it.

Anyone have suggestions, pictures or a video link that shows this part of the process?
