Default Subwoofer rear trim panel removal

I have a 2014 F Type V6S coupe. I need to access the rattling subwoofers behind the seat but need to know how to remove the trim panel behind the seats that also houses the storage compartment. can anyone point me in the right direction. many thanks.

I too would like detailed steps on how to actually do this. So far all I have seen is "remove the seat and then look at these diagrams". It's far from clear how to do it without breaking anything. I've had dozens of other cars apart and back together successfully because their service manuals went into plenty of detail.

Seems like someone may have posted directions here on how to do that.

Check out section 415-01 of this document, though I think these are the less-than-clear diagrams 15FTypeR is referring to. You'll want to turn on Bookmarks in your PDF viewer to navigate this beast of a document.

This might also be of interest. It won't help you open up the subwoofers, but the end of the document shows all the locations where the dealer would try to isolate vibrations by installing foam, etc.

Argh! Indeed, I had my hopes up for this document but it's like they left out everything I need between page 14 and 15.

I am used to extremely thorough service manuals from Audi, Infiniti, Mazda, Nissan. There must be something better that the DEALERS use.

Yes I also have this document but as you say the important bit is missing. Surely someone has done this outside of JLR?

I believe Cambo is the one we need to chime in.
