Hi would like to fit my 6x9 in the old speakers mounting place , but i cant figure out how to remove the interior trim , it looks like the back windows needs to come out. Any help would be nice

Thanks
Rudi

Have a helper stand on the outside to catch the glass or place a thick blanket on the ground in case it gets dropped. The glass can be pushed out from the inside by starting at a corner and working the rubber gasket over the pinch weld while pressing out. Take your time and don't force things.

Go for a pair of nice 4 x 6 and bolt them in.

I got a set of expensive 6x9 hence why i wana put them in. grinded alot of metal away and it fits nicely. New wires would be in order when i do the other side because this stock wire makes the $300 speakers sound like sh!t.

I can now finally say , this car has never ran this good since i bought it... 2 years down the track and alot of parts

Congrats. I just put a pair of 4 x 6 in this weekend to replace some bad OEM speakers, and did it without taking the windows out, or removing the side panels. Was not fun. I am sure that by taking the entire panel apart, the access is easier. I did not want to have to pop the windows back in, and get the side panel trim under the window gasket. Probably would have been quicker though!
