helps to take off the a-pillars

then pry up the board.. carefully.. i seem to remember having to bend it a little to get it out.. and the ends can break

after that its clear sealing .. take out the screws and pop in the new ones

ok do this!!

if u dont wanna break it!

1) remove bottom seat cusion

2) remove seat back (4 x T55 Trox Bolts)

3) remove C- Pillars

4) pull the plastic pieces off where the seatbelt goes into the cover

5) CAREFULLY slide it out...

>> this is how i did it and DIDNT BREAK IT, and i have had my back cover out MANY MANY times <<

ya i just get nervious....how to i get the c pillars off? do i just pull them and hope the clips dont break? and i have to take out the whole bottom part of my rear seat? how do i do that? how many screws are involved with that? and do i have to pull out clips for the seat belt things? i dont do well with clips...i usually end up breaking them.

Get one of these:

The front dash speakers in my T-bird are the same exact way.

Also, I'm pretty sure I either broke or lost one of the clips on my C-pillars, but they've yet to ratttle.

So do I. I bought this thing, but have yet to have a chance to use it.

If you mean 'why' did I get it, it's because the speakers are used and they'll need to be changed again eventually. Plus, it was $5.
