hiya mate

as far as i remember,

you will have to remove the lower parts of the back seat,
there are trim clips on the sides and bottom of the door cards, which are best to remove with a trim tool, as they are prone to break if you try to yank the door cards off.
once the sides and bottoms of the door cards have come adrift from the car, you will need to move the card in an upwards direction, as there are metal clips that hold the top of the cards secure to the bottom of the window.

hope this helps,
if you have any more probs, pm me and i will try to help,
regards

      to remove the rear door card ,u need take off both side of the plastic which hold the parcel self , then u need to take the back seats out .the bottom part of the seat is really easy just 2 metal pins holdin it.but the top part of the seat is abit hard , the side near the door card u just unslot it then the another side u jus give it a good shake ,it should come off . then the final part to remove the dor card u just lift it up but be gentle cuz there is a connection that connect the speakers ....

I just slid the wire up the gap between the doorcard and the plastic bit underneath and broke off the speaker cover.

wire up the new speaker and screwed it in. As my car is only a 1.4 model there were no speakers to remove so there was no real need to remove the rear door cards as i had no revits to drill out.

Thanks for all your help tho guys  :wink:
