RE: Re[2]: Coupe q - help with rear speakers...

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

The trim on the vertical post over the seat belts covered up two screws
holding the top front of the panels. Either that (I suffer from CRS), or
I couldn't get the panel out without removing the vertical trim. Oh,
well.
