Just fitted some rear speakers. Here's how:-
Following instructions posted by CMT:
"The panels are on popper clips at the front and round the top, just give the panel a pull (after removing the front door seal obviosly) and it will come loose. The tricky part is that the rear seats go through the panel. To get to the screw in the boot that holds the seat together you have to remove the carpet that lines the boot... There are 2 plastic fixings (one at each of the back corners) that hold the carpet in... To remove these, use a reasonable size flat screwdriver to remove the centre pin (it\'s a pin that goes though a tube with a flat end on) the tube section of the fixing will then come out and you can remove the carpet, revealing the torx headed screw/bolt that holds in the rear seats."
Following on from this:-
Once torx screw removed, there is another nut just above it which has to be loosened. This will release a latch mechanism which secures both the rear seats. Lift up the latch and remove one side of one of the seats. Taking the driver side rear seat first, lift up the inside and rotate the seat on its axis until the other side (window) comes out. The window side is prevented from coming out by two protruding pins which have to be aligned with 2 corresponding slots on the hole. Mine was about 10 degrees anticlockwise from the vertical.
Once the seats are removed, take off the step panel covering the boot latch. This is held on by 3 plastic fixings on the vertical side and 4 poppers on the horizontal underside.
Remove the 3 screws on the rear side panel just under the light. Disconnect or pop out the light. Then release the multitude of poppers and clips that secure the panel. There are 3 poppers on the centre pillar, 2 poppers and 3 metal clips under the rear side window, and a further popper or two on the back. Careful not to shear the poppers.
Juggle the panel a bit and it should come out.
Repeat for the other side.
Phew! Took me about 2 hours. Sounds complicated but once you get going its ok and if you like music, you'll not regret it.
