Or buy the shelf with the Blind in it, which is what I done, however the blind electric connectors were differrent eg blind came form pre-facelift and fitted to facelift CDX, so thanks to Daz (Loo Knee) and his expert soldering skills wiring was connected, works a treat. There is my old rear shelf which will probably still be at Timbuk's yard.
You have to remove C pillar trims, remove the back seat passenger pillar handles, disconnect courtesy light, remove seat belts, unbolt from C pillars, remove headreast etc., Its better to remove both rear C pillars, and the brake light housing aswell, after removing the screws on the c pillars, they're just held in by clips. The parcel shelf is held in by small bullet type plastic clips wich you push through from the back of the boot, then a bit of pulling and tugging should get the shelf out (handy with 2 people). Heres some pics below:
