    Hey Guys,

    Anyone remove this panel and can offer some tips?

    [​IMG]

    I'm trying to put in a couple of basically washers where the opening is near the lower '8' is on diagram (where the pins of the rear seats fit) in the wake of a rear seat delete

    As it currently stands the panel is very snug and the only way to get the washer in is to loosen panel and place washer and then replace panel.

    Had this like this for a couple years now and it has been bugging me since!

    I believe that is what the link shows. He is replacing a rear speaker, so it all had to come out.

    If there is not any sound barrier foam in there with the vibration dampener I highly recommend you add some. I used HushMatt 1/4 inch. That is really good stuff.

    Checked it out and they have some high frequency sound deadner which would be ideal for windnoise, etc

    I used both. Huge difference. One does high frequency and the other low.
