creaking rear cabin!

Does anyone know how to remove the large rear cabin plastics, the one that houses the sub woofer.
It has developed an annoying creak.
I know this is the offending item as can stop the noise by grabbing it up by the headrest.
Only the passenger side makes this noise.
Any other tips on how stop the creak without removing the plastic is also appreciated.
 
You say you can stop the noise by grabbing the headrest, I assume you mean the roll over hoop. If that's the case have you got the factory fit Wind Deflector as it's known for the insert to rattle on a few cars.
 
Thanks for the response, but its not the wind deflector or the roll bar.
Its the big plastic panel the roll bar sits on.
With the roof down, you can see the back of it and there is a small gap where it joins up with another piece of trim. Its these two pieces rubbing that is causing the noise.
I think I'm first going to try and push some draft foam between the two pieces to see if that works before I try and take it apart.
 
sounds silly but is your seat too far back? this happened on my coupe and it was just a case of putting the seat slightly further forward...
 
If the squeaking happens with the hood down then check this post out. The noise may be coming from a different spot than you think.

I followed the instructions to remove the panel and then applied a bit of lithium grease to any contact parts and the latch...no more noise. This is only a 20 minute job.
