Hi all,
I want o play around with my JBL non navi Bass speaker at the back of the Tail Gate.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the interior panels to get to the speaker please?
Thanks in advance.

See the 3rd row seat seat swap with photos link in the Mods & Maintenance sticky thread. It has the details and document (TSB from summerwind) that will allow you to remove the side paneling.

Thanks Kevin, but I need to remove the interior panel on the tailgate. Your DIY only shows the back side panels...

Stupid dummy me. When I read it I thought you were referring to the interior rear quarter panels and missed the tailgate thing. Sorry, man!

Thanks Patrick, this is perfect! All 16 clips to hold the panel to the tailgate.

Kevin, don't beat yourself up. This is what Monday is for.... hehehe...

tip be VERY CAREFUL when removing the top and side trim panels. the plastic clips must be removed and placed back on the plastic trim panel. If you leave it in the metal frame, when you put the plastic trim panel back in, it will push the plastic clip into the metal, and then ur in trouble.
