Question How do you remove a Cobalt coupe trunk lid?

I've been searching for almost an hour and can't find a detailed procedure for removing the trunk lid from my Cobalt. I'm swapping trunk lids with an ss/sc, so I can have a spoiler without having to drill the holes, paint everything, and then install the spoiler. Can anyone tell me in detail how to reomove my trunk lid? Thanks!

take off the struts and then just unbolt it. make sure you get all the wireing off and take the key hole out. thats easy you jsut pull on the little metal thing behind it inside the trunk

4 bolts and wiring, very simple. Remember to switch locks!
