hey mate not sure if there is another thread either but here we go..

take out back seat---two ways to do it

proper way,put fronts seats all the way forward (taking out the part you sit on 1st) use your knees and some brute strength push down then towards the back in kind of 1 motion,its a bit of a pain but you will get there. then do the other side.

there are only 2 hooks 1 on each side.

dodgy way --- put your hands between backrest and seat and reef the seat out , it will still be in the hooks but a bit easier to get them out.

just for the record i prefer to do the 1st way!

once the base is out i think its only 2 bolts at the bottom of the seat to take the back out ,once the bolts are out you just have to lift it towards the roof as they sit on locating hooks.

the rest is pretty easy remove the clips in the shelf and it should just wiggle out.

then you have your speakers.

NOTE.... i have only done this on a car with no brakelight in window so you may have to take that out

all out and new speakers in and back together should be around an hour or so, smokos and cans included!!!!

good luck and let me know how you go or you need any other advice!

sorry i didnt see you needed front as well!!!!!!!!

quite a lot of screws for front doors.

door lock--- take out the red bit with a really small flat screwdriver or a test light then lift it out.(and the screw behind it)

handle(the bit you pull to close door)--- front little panel just pops off and 2 or 3 screws hide behind it.

the vent bit--- there are a few screws in this about 5or 6 i think , some are hidden and you may have to take the vents out to find some.

handle--- i think there is 1 hidden in there (bit you open door)


then around the outside you just gently pull all the way around as they are push in clips.....dont pull to hard or you'll break the door trim cardboard.(you will see what i mean once they are off)

then once trim is off you can get to your speakers.

P.S. its been a long time since i have done this so although its fairly accurate i may have missed something so take care in doing it.


again let me know how you go and good luck

as nigel said. Front has 3 screws long bottom trim, 2 in the handle part, i think 4 in and around the air vent. and 2 clips that slide/pop into a cpl of gaps on the right hand side of trim.

Rear is abit of fun, i didnt take my seats out for mine though. But same idea as Nigel.
