Im sure its one of my rear Leda coilovers that is making a rubbing/knocking noise at the top and I want to take it off and inspect the top mount.

Before I go removing all the trim in the wrong order, can someone tell me the right one?

It looks like I will need to take the back seat out for a start (fixed bulkhead in the coupe). Where does this bolt down?.

Remove the lower rear seat by undoing the bolts on the brackets at the front of the seat. Then you can get to the bolts that hold the seat back in place. Then you can remove the parcel shelf. Then you can get to the top mount.

If you have reat inertia (sp?) real seat belts as well then it makes life a lot easier if you un-bolt those as well.
