Removing Rear Speaker Covers....?

[CrazyCamryG3]

I was just wondering how to remove my rear speaker covers of my gen3 camry...Do i just pull them off...there on pretty tight, or do i have to do something special?

To gain access the the rear speakers you have to remove the rear deck, which also requires that you remove the rear seats and other pcs surrounding it. It's fairly easy. Here's what you do;

1. Remove the rear seat cushions by yanking them in an upward direction. It's simply held in place with clips in the middle, left and right sides.

2. Remove the each of the side bolster pcs by unscrewing a bolt near the bottom by the seat belt buckle area.

3. Fold down the back rests of the rear seats. There you'll find some plastic "nipple" thingys. Pop those off to expose screws that need to be removed.

4. Remove the third brake light completely. Carefully pop off the brake light cover. Unscrew the light brake assembly. unplug the harness.

5. The rear deck should be pretty easy to remove now. If you're having a hard time, it's because it's probably just snagged somewhere. Take your time.

6. I may have forget one of two minor pcs that need to be removed. If I did they're held in place with clips too. So just pul them out.

Oh yeah would removing these coverings and having the speakers exposed, would extended lengths of exposure of sunlight damage them?

Your probabley get the same amount of sunlight exposure, i'd be more worried about accidentlly hitting or scratching them physically, I wouldnt risk it. Especially if you havea bunch of maniac friends to drive around like me!

i'm new to working on my car and i'm working on replacing my rear speakers and have been browsing on this forum about how to gain access to the rear speakers to take them out

this small step by step thing helps me out, but i'm wondering what the rear seat cusions are and what the third brake light is?

The rear seat cushions are...well, the rear seat cushions. The third brake light is the top brake light, in between the two rear speakers.

would that be equivalant to the brake light on my spoiler? or is that a whole new problem?

If you have a brake light built into the spolier than more than likely you dont have the third brake light that sits in the middle of the rear window.
