    the rear ones are shorter and wont fit the front. get vr/vs door pods/map pockets for the front.

    Because i've just made some speaker pods, which are trimmed to match the door,and rather than having the holes from where the map pocket were, or filling them in, i'd like to still have a map pocket there, and keep a bit of a factory look going. Probably should have said that in the first post, but it was late...

    So yeah, just need to know if they would fit up, and how much work would be involved in it?

    They fit the same as the fronts. Rears have 5 screws, so just drill new holes in the trim, and then they'll fit. Are you sure there the right length? I'd me more inclined to use a front pocket, but cut a section out of the middle.

    i thought about modifying the front pocket, but if you cut section out of the middle, if you look, you'll notice that the pocket tapers upwards from the centre. So if you were to cut a section out, it wouldnt line up anymore, two different heights. I thought about a few other ways, but in the end, it would still look like someone cut up a map pocket.

    I think the rear ones are a lot shorter in overall length. I'm only basing this on a couple of pictures i've seen.(if anyone out there could measure the overall distance of theirs, including the sect of carpet, that would be great!!)
