This site doesn't let me edit posts, so you'll have to enjoy the repeated questions I post as they come up

. I removed the shoulder pads, plus the thin garnish strip of plastic from. the c-pillar airbag panel. I was able to remove the 3 red clips from the larger airbag panel, but I'm stuck on the black and white one. Even with my panel popper tool, it's barely budging, and I've already bent the sheet metal a little bit.

It's like Honda purposely designed the rear deck to rattle and made it nearly impossible to remove that panel to fix the issue...
Will keep trying.
