Is there an easier way to get the old subs out of the rear parcel shelf? Any tricks from your experience?

JTIS says remove rear seat cushions, then rear seat backs, then C-pillars, then all the finishers for the seat belts and child seat latches before removal of the shelf itself, which looks like its only snapped in place, like most of the other parts on this car.

I only want enough room to unplug and remove the little subs.





with all the 'extra' electrical and wiring from the rear ent system, I'd like to be as cautious as possible.

 

I am watching this with great interest. On a similar note, how do you remove the rear seat when you have power seats? I want to switch to coils and get to the ecu back there for the air suspension.

 

i have woeked on 2 xjs i know of no other way----it slides strait out toward the front of the car--the worst part is geting the seat bottom out 4 latches push or pull the black triangle shaped releases --pull the 2 rip cords for the seat back -remove c pillar panels then slde tray toward you over car seat ancors ------------hopwe this helps a little

 

If you are still unable to remove the seats and associated equipment, perhaps tomorrow afternoon, I can do it to my xj. I will take photos of all required steps and component locations. I can post em on here. Let me know. As mentioned above, the most difficult part is removing the bottom part of the seat via the triangular latches under it. There are four latches and they are difficult to reach and manipulate with your hand.

 

morgan, I won't be pulling the rest of it off until the weekend, so if you want to document the steps...show me what i have to look forward to, that would be great. Why are you dismantling your rear seats? Specific reason, I hope?

 

Really, i have no reason other than to help out another jag enthusiast. I have removed there rear seat many times before.
Sometimes remove my seats when i give my cars real deep detailing.
I enjoy assisting people i suppose.
