I did mine last week while the trunk was empty.
It really helps if all the lining & wheel is out, as it gives just that extra needed space.
It also helps if you can sit in the trunk.
It is tight, but much easier as some other threads suggest.
The small screwdriver is a must, small hands help .
In my case there were tie-raps on the struts holding cables, be careful before you pull them out.
Oh yeah, have an extra pair of hands ready to hold the lid, it is quite heavy once the strut is gone, even if you do them one by one ....
