I have a set of blown rear speakers and I see the write ups on how to replace them with 5.25" speakers and 4" speakers but what I didn't see is HOW do I remove the rear seat parts that are in the way of removing the speaker tray. So. Please how do I remove the seat edge parts and how do I remove the speaker tray? I have a 4" and a 5.25" set ready to go, Thank you!

You may have to work it a little bit to get the hook over the tab but DO NOT pull the bolster forward or force it, or you will start to rip the hook from the side bolster. You shouldn't have to completely remove the bolster, just get it out of the way enough to provide room to access the screw holding the speaker tray in. | | | 07-09-2012, 06:56 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 | Isn't there a fastener at the bottom of the bolster? One of those big plastic nut/washer things? I'm pretty sure there is and the better way to get the bolster off is to remove the seat cushion (the part you sit on, just pull up on the front edge and it will pop off), undo the fasteners at the bottom of the bolster and then just lift them up. | | | 07-09-2012, 09:30 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: Philadelphia Pa. Posts: 94 | Bolsters were easy,, I see two of the screws holding the tray in, I removed those two and where are the rest of them. How do I get the speaker trays out ? Need to replace the rear speakers !

After the fasteners are removed, just slip the seat belt out of the guide and you should be GTG. Are you replacing the factory 4" speakers with aftermarket 4", or did you buy the 5.25" adapter plates? | | | 07-10-2012, 02:15 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Location: Philadelphia Pa.

I also have a factory CD player on the other side, So all screws should be in sight once the seat bolster is removed? I only saw two. Thank you. | | | 07-10-2012, 02:19 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | I believe there are at least three screws in addition to the plastic nut. There's one that is kind of hidden- follow the mounting arms down from the tray to locate them. I can take a picture of one when I get home, if you still can't find it. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
