Taking rear section apart (body)

I plan on taking my taillights, rear fascia, and spoiler off thursday to add sound deadening and fix it all up to stop rattles. I am kind of iffy about taking everything off because i am not sure what bolts to take off and i dont want to break anything.
Can somebody tell me how to do this?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm sure your decklid is the same as the one on my SS, there should be 4, if I remember correctly, 10 or 11mm nuts on the underside that hold the spoiler on. The "Camaro" panel nuts are the same I believe, they're behind the carpet that covers the rear latch area. The taillights have those big plastic black wingnuts holding them on. If your still in the dark, I could take a few pics of what I'm talking about from my car.

this should be interesting... i have sound deadening probably on top of most of those nuts. I'll have to look for them.

Does the spoiler come apart into multiple pieces? Kinda looks like it...

thanks,
Alex

The spoiler is one piece, there are a few seams, looks like a couple parts, but it's all bonded together.

that sucks... thats one of my main causes of rattling. Do you know how i could fix it? maybe spray some expanding foam in there or something? a small bead of clear silicone?

If the rattling is the spoiler on the decklid, maybe making some sort of foam gasket or something like that.....I'm not sure about the expandable foam, hard to tell what it would do.
