Need help to remove rear parcel shelf, W209 coupe

The rear parcel shelf of my CLK500 (2004) has turned purple, so I planned to re-trim it... but I couldn't get it out It doesn't look like a rocket science, but... I already broke one of the center "seat indicator red tabs"

I tried searching around - without success, so could you please advice me about the right procedure, thanks a lot!

This is the awful purple shade of the old age on the speaker grilles:

Thanks again Rudeney, it was the C-pillar trims that were blocking the removal.
Now the rear shelf is off the car and I'm just waiting for the black Mercedes-perforated alcantara to arrive from Germany.

The sun burn color difference:

It's bloody perfect now, better than original! Even the color is almost a perfect match.

Some photos...
