Begin
by pulling on the 2 tabs located on the bottom
of the
cushion.

Here
is another shot of the tab. Simply
pull on the tabs, lift
up, and the seat should come right out.

Here
is a shot of the tab with the seat removed.

When
the bottom of the seat is removed,
2 bolts or 2screws
(depending on year of car) are revealed on each side of
the seat.

Here
is the shot of the underneath the seat,
I don't think you
have to unbolt these to get the seat out, but I removed
them just incase.

There
are 2 bolts inside the armrest.
Remove these and the seat
will come out.

Once
the seat is off, the rear deck needs
to be removed. To get
it off, remove the side panels by the rear passenger
windows that hold the rear
deck down. Both panels are
tough to get off, so pull hard.

close-up shot of the panel removed.
Be careful when
removing the panel because the seat belt thing is
sensitive to pressure. Be careful not to break it!

Make
sure to disconnect the rear
brake light connector before
removing the rear deck. The rear brake connector harness
is connected to the rear third brake light. To get to
it, just pull the rear third brake lamp TOWARDS you and
twist left or right to remove from the bracket.
Disconnect bulb harness, and pull upwards a little bit
and you should have access to the harness.

From
inside the trunk, push these pins
up (use pliers if
necessary), and the deck should come out.

Here
is a shot of the back without the
seat, panels, and the
deck.

To
remove the speaker from the car
there are 4 three Phillips
screws and disconnect the amp (if equipped with Bose).

Here
is a shot of the power plug for the
amp (if equipped with
Bose)
