I had my parcel shelf speakers out a while back when I was checking out the poor bass sound.
IIRC once you've got the plastic covers off (which you have already) there are a couple of screws to loosen slightly so that the retaining latches can be swivelled out of the way, then the speakers just lift out from above.
Obviously the plugs need to come off too.
I didn't look closely at the fixings for the blind so can't say if you need access underneath to retain it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I'd say that gas tank would be seriously in the way - I was lying on my back with my head right up behind the seat to see the fixings.

That big lump under the parcel shelf inboard of the right speaker is where the motor etc. for the rear blind sits.
