Default CD player removal

Hi all, I'm trying to remove the frame that holds the cd player in. I've got the 4 bolts out but cant see what's holding the back section in? Any help appreciated

There was another captive bolt out of site deep in the wing. Needed a deep 10mm socket to get the nut off. Glad I did it, hope I've caught things just in time down there.

Brinny, glad you got it figured out!

This reminds of the 1st time I removed mine. So for folks who may use this thread in the future:
Be very careful hunting for the bolts in the back with yourbare hands! There is A LOT of razor sharp metal back in that hidden area. Another guess how I know moment!

John
