Its held in place with 10mm nuts. Open the trunk and you can access them from the back side.

I wouldnt recommend using dynomat. I disassembles my rear reflector, sprayed the mating surfaces with Roadkill spray on deadener and put it all back together wet.

My trunk sounds solid as a rock.

i tried getting it off today...we found clamps on the underside...we couldnt get them off...an d we didnt risk breaking it...we didnt see any bolts or nuts on the inside of the trunk...unless theyre way up somewhere we cant reach...i have a roll of dynamat...i just put it where i want it and roll it in so it sticks...worked perfectly on the top of my trunk...ill see if i can find those bolts..
