Remove rear panel - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

geoff5093 · 05-29-2007, 04:56 PM

I just bought a new pair of Pioneer 6x9 speakers for the rear. I folded the seats down and I got half of the plastic panel clips out, but I'm not surehow to get the rest out, since I dont want to break or bend the plastic.

I dont have a Haynes manual or anything, so I was wondering if anyone knew any tips on how to remove it easily.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I didnt have to fold the seats down, I just did it so I could access the plastic panel easier.

I dont know why they made it so hard for the Gen6, on the Gen3 all you had to do was remove the grill with a screwdriver and you had access to the speakers, now you need to remove the entire back piece.

I found some holes on the underside, inside the trunk, which looks like I could use to help push it up. But again, i'm not sure if thats the right way so I dont want to break anything.

Gen6 Camry Manual

Go to the "Seat Belt" Manual

Go to SB-37 (PDF Pg.41)

Good luck.

you won't be able to do that since you have to take out the old speakers for one, and the grills are much bigger than 6x9 and it will just look messy in general lol sry to ruin it for you =/ this isn't hard on a gen 5.5 though takes maybe 15-20mins when you know what you're doing to do it nicely

Will there be a noticable difference between the Pioneer speakers and JBL?

CamrySExxx · 05-30-2007, 03:47 PM

Thanks, but I actually got someone else to email me them.

If it's not too much trouble though, I'd like you to e-mail me them in case the other guy cant find a way or something.

Well I got everything off, it was pretty easy, once I got the side panels off the rear came off easily.

And just to let everyone know, 6x9's will fit, but they DO NOT screw in, since Toyota has to make everything difficult, so you can see on the stock speakers that it has it's own harness. What I did was install the 6x9's, and I just used Goop. If anyone doesnt know what Goop is, it's probably one of the strongest glues around, it sticks to pretty much everything and is practically impossible to get off.
