I am getting ready to install new speakers in the rear panels of my car (98 covertible). I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the side panels off that cover the speakers. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Do I have to take the seats out? I can only find one screw near the seatbelt harness but I can't believe that just one screw holds that entire cover in. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

I ran into the same problem with my car when I was installing new rear speakers. You need to move the edge of the seat, where the seat cushion meets the plastic panel. Don't actually take off the seat cushion, just push the foam inwards towards the seat belt buckles, and you will see 2 or 3 plastic screws holding the side panel in (just like the plastic screws that hold the trunk inserts in). After you get those out, there are two visible screws near the rear windows. One has a snap on it. Take of both of these screws, then just wiggle the side panel out.

u forgot the 2 screws at the bottom of the panel, which is why you atleast need to remove the lower portion of the seat

Your bottom seat pulls out. Top seat is bolted in from behind with (4) 13mm nuts. Panels have 4 screws. 2 on top and 2 on the bottom.
