ae102 removal of plastic around hatch area

[linzz82]

Hi all, i've got a '96 ae102 hatchback.

I'm wondering how i go about removing the plastic from the sides of the trunk area, and also off the tailgate.

I have removed the top speaker covers and now i am left with 4 screws along the top (2 in the speaker frames and 2 into the cream coloured trim), i've un-done those but still cant work out how i remove it from behind the taillights where it meets the boot rubber. Is it clipped as well or somthing? just dont want to pull on it and break somthing.

Reason i'm pulling it all apart is that i want to replace my seatbelts in the back and try and fix up some plastic type rattles, and maybe put in some sound deadning while im there.

Also how would i go about replacing my front seatbelts getting the B-pillar trim off etc..

Thanks :)

i got the same model. Can you post up the picture of the rear speakers. Ive always wondered what type they are and size.

CHEERZ :)

The Toyota ones were oval ones not 6x9 what ever size down from those 5x8 4x7 dunno

This is what i have in now 5inch focals on thin mdf

These are the bolts i need to undo basically i need to get rid of the speaker frame so i can get to the seatbelt bolt. But one of the bolts on the right (hidden) i cant get to because its soughta below the trim in front of it

So i am wondering how this section of trim comes off and wihich way i have to pull it, up or into the car or what?

Sorry about my ramblings, i'm just starting to try and do things on my car my self

Armstrong just wondering if you have any rattle metalic sounds in the back of your car? Drives me nuts
