Remove or loosen the rear parcel shelf?

Recently I was required by law to remove my tint, the guy who removed the tint wasn't the one who installed it (wasn't available when I needed it done). He removed the tint but wasn't able to remove all the adhesive on the lower part of the rear window by the rear shelf.

Does anyone know how to remove or loosen the interior rear parcel shelf so that I can get in there and remove the remaining adhesive?

Or perhaps know of some sort cleaning wand or stick that can fit between the rear windshield and shelf?

The tint was already removed, it's just that there's some residue on the window itself. It can be easily rubbed off but is just hard to reach since the rear parcel shelf covers the bottom 2-4" of the window, hence the reason I'm asking how to remove the rear parcel shelf because I can't fit my fingers between them or know of a product that can fit in between aside from maybe adhering a piece of microfiber onto a thin hard ruler

I'm curious to know how you get back there also. I dont have tints but it is impossible to clean the whole window because of that thing. Mines a 2006 and it doesnt look like its ever been cleaned cause you cant get back there, and now its starting to look like crap.

I just had mine removed to have the sub replaced ($1200!!) and they put it back tighter than ever. No rattles...and I'm picky.
Can't help you with the instructions though as I didn't stick around.

PM email address and I will forward instructions to remove rear shelf note though it involves removing the rear seat backrest, head restraints, and c-pillar paneling.
