HOW DO I TAKE OFF THE REAR SPEAKER GRILLS ON A 97 A4?

THANKS--MIKE

 

The grills don't come off. You have to remove the rear shelf.

There are instructions in the tech section of audiworld

 

then how do i take out the rear speakers to replace them?

 

You take out the rear shelf, to which the grills are attached.

see the tech article in audiworld.

 

Rear speaker removal

hope this is helplful

word of advice...from one newbie to another...search...if you don't search, people on these forums will get on ya =)

 

hope this helps out:

1) Lower rear seats.
2) Gently lift right corner of rear deck panel edge up to clear over side panel.
3) Gently lift left corner of rear deck panel edge up to clear over side panel.
4) Gently slide your arm under panel and move side to side, this releases all deck panel clips. Be careful and take your time so you do not crease or crack the panel.
5) From trunk, disconnect center brake light connector. Release trigger on connector and remove.
6) Lift leading edge of rear deck panel and pull toward front of car.
7) With seat belt straps attached to rear deck panel, move panel side to side for access to rear speaker.
8) Lift tape next to speaker for access to speaker connector, release trigger on connector and disconnect.
9) Remove screws securing rear deck speaker and remove. Repeat for opposite side.

 

pay attention to what the moderators and admin are saying to you.. !! just like your momma they know best.. LOL

 

ahh comn man its so friggen easy, before u ask go look the rear speaker pannel for 30 seconds! u could figure it out

 

Actually, having done it, it isn't intuitive without the instructions.

the other hard part was to figure out how to remove the baby seat clips. You have to remove the plastic cover of the metal clips to access the bolts from the top. Also, don't forget to disconnect the rear 3rd brake light from the trunk. Otherwise you'll rip the wires off.

You don't have to remove the rear shoulder belts.

 

it was real easy in my 99.5
