I have a 96 GXE and I'm trying to swap out the rear speakers (non-bose). I tried following Cheston's directions and decided not to go through all the way. The problem is that the top half of the seat feels like it's still attached even after removing the 4 bolts.

Is this normal or is there something else to it? I figured it's better to wait then to bollocks the seat. Should I just yank it harder, or what?

Also, I should mention that my Max has the trunk access latch behind the rear armrest (if it makes a difference).

 

OK - You need to remove the back seat and shelf to get to OK,
To remove your rear speakers.
1.) Remove the rear seat bottom cushion. ( Pull on the 2 plastic rings on each edge. )
2.) Remove the 2 bolts on the outside edges of the seat back.
3.) Fold down the arm rest and door behind the arm rest. Lift the carpet and remove the 2 bolts. Push up on the seat back to remove.
4.) Remove the 3rd brake light assembly.
5.) Pull back the door edge molding.
6.)Pry out on the rear pillar trim panels to release the clips. Let them hang by the rear seat belts.
7.) Pry up the rear deck panel and slide it toward the front to remove.
8.) Now you can get to your speakers
Good luck.
