My plan was to follow this procedure so that I can fix the faded shelf. However, I removed everything and still can't get the shelf off. I assume it's because my 2003 540i M-Sport is equipped with an electric rear window shade. Do you know how to remove it so that I can get the shelf out? I thought that there may be some bolts inside the truck, but when I removed the upper truck panel, there is a subwoofer or something that covers that entire area. No bolts exposed. Can you help? Thanks for all that you do. I love your video's.

Damn my C pillar trim is held in by 13mm bolts. I pulled like you did in the video and destroyed the plastic that bolts down. Whoops! Mine is a 2003.
