AE102 rear dash removal... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

It would seem my Haynes Manual left out the part on removing the rear dash.

...lol. figures.

Anyways, as I remember from my 95 Camry once the seats are down, the side pieces are outta the way and the center brake lamp is removed... its two screws in front and six clips at the rear. Is it the same on a 93-97 AE102?

Thats what I figured. Theres plastic around the hole when the seats flip down but I couldn't locate any screws with out getting too deep into it. ...didn't want to break anything before I have to.

K. Seats down, pull out two long plastic pins at top of C and D pillar. Take off plastic rear pillar trim pieces. PUSH IN on the plastic pins holding the brake light cover and take them out. Take off brake light cover, screw off and disconnect brake light assembly. Pull up on that goddamn trim around the inner edge. When the inner edge pops up, pull out w/force. Tadaa, your speakers are exposed!

There are no screws involved in taking trim off.

Sorry i thought it was A B C D going clockwise. That's what me and my friends call it.

Anyway I mean the two rear pillars.

That was exactly the problem... it doesn't have it under the BODY section or the next logical place, rear strut removal. ...its in the electronics section under rear speaker removal

Those damn things that hold the brake light cover on, I hate them. I almost broke them out completely before I realized you have to push in on the center part. Damn Toyota and their tricky little plastic clips of all sorts.

I broke three covers in my Camry.
