I am looking to remove the plastic piece in the trunk (hatch) on the rear passenger side.. That big black piece.. has anyone removed it?? i have a very small amp and I wanna see if it fits back inside there...

trying to figure out what piece you're talking about. a picture would really help with questions like this.

 

[bzdel2441]

[the415]

yes it's removable and yes it goes back in.

i was trying to figure out how to remove the entire trunk pieces a while back but i had no luck. ill be keeping an eye on this if anyone knows or if you figure it out.

I have taken apart just about every interrior piece of my car (excluding the carpet from seats and rear fold down section of the seats).

It can come out, and it can be a little difficult because of the seat belt.

You basically have to just pull it out. I think there are a few screws. I will take a look tomorrow and see where they are.

did you remove the entire back seat or just the back rest parts? and how does that work? thanks.

sorry to threadjack

I removed the seat cushion to run wire for my amps, sub and other wires. The seat cushion is held in my plastic clips. you just have to tug on it, but be careful. Like any plastic clips, they can break.

seat cusion meaning the part you sit on i assume? im looking first on how to remove just the back (parts that fold down) do they come off separate or is it all one piece?

 

[krstofer]

They are seperate and need to be unbolted from the floor.

that isn't going to make a big difference in your et. general rule of thumb is every 100lbs = ~.1s

Anyhow, go to the electric section and look for the Sirius install directions. Removal steps are in there. Basically start with the rear door trim and work your way back. Yes, it's a PIA - both in and out. Take it slow and don't force any of the black plastic - any excess pressure results in a gray stress mark. There's lots of room in there - take off the access panel first to take a look.
