Hey guys,

I sound like a noob, but do you know how to remove the rear upper interior for the S14?

I need to remove the panel where the rear speakers are so I can access the strut tower. I’ve been at it all afternoon and no luck… hmm

Any help would be appreciated.

YES, I did do the search 🙂

Drop the rear seat down.

The strut tower’s top is covered by the panel where the rear speakers are.

Any idea on how to remove that panel?

Like Jake said, you need to drop the rear seats to unclip the panel. Not very hard really. Should be a snap off job.

Thinking of getting a RSTB?
