Default Rear Strut Bar Panel Removal?

Hey,

Can anyone tell me how to get the panels off that seem to hold the rear strut bar in place? I need to get to these to find a rattle and its behind that. I know people have painted and put in new bars, just dont see any instructions of how to do so...

Start from the rear hatch panel with the light and work your way around to the strut. You can pop the top panel off of the strut bar without removing any other panel, but that doesn't give you much access.

Slide the panels on top of the bar towards the middle of the car.
That actually might be your rattle. Mine slide out a little a rattle quite often. I slide them out, then push them back in with some force.

Hey good to know, i will check that out. I only get the rattle when im under heavier throttle at around 2500 - 3000 rpm's, so highway driving is annoying...
