carpet trim by blue arrows:---only remove the side you need taillamp access. (you can actually try squeezing your arm between the car's body and carpet trim to access the taillamp you need to re-align),---if you have a hard time removing the carpet trim.
you also need to pry cover#8 to access bolt#12 of luggagehook#7 before you can remove the carpet trim-blue arrows.

Okay; great; so the fasteners by the red circles simply unscrew, and also great to hear I don’t need to remove both carpeted sides; just the side I want to work on. Thanks sir!
Too bad they didn't make a simple access panel, like on most Mercedes'.
