is there anything besides the bolts under the front of itthe only things holding it on? Just curious because im lookin to install my pioneer speakers

 

You may find four in the defrost vent area by the windshield.

 

Don't let those drop into the defroster area, i've done that and haven't seen them since,...

 

do i need to take off anything to get to all the bolts?

 

I just did this literally an hour ago.

You don't need to remove anything to gain access, no. You've got all those bolts below the front dash lip, and then you will probably have 4 or so longer ones in the defroster vent area, as mentioned above. He's right about being careful not to drop any in the vents...I just had it happen, and it really bothers me!

Where in MA are you?

 

If you do drop the screws in the defroster port, you can get one of those magnetic grabber things and pull it out. I bought a mechanical grabber and long magnet from NAPA for like $4 to retrieve a dropped screw bit and one of those screws in my defroster port.

 

Oh, yeah, that is a good idea. I'll have to try it out, I have one of those extendable magnet jobbies.

 

im in bondsville. No too far from amherst

 

Dude, no way! Finally, a guy from Mass. on here who isn't from the eastern part of the state. That's just beyond Belchertown, isn't it? Got any pics of your ride? We should meet up sometime.

That Good?

 

Sweet, looks like she's real clean.

 

HAHAHA!

same exact thing i was ready to post , i even used a snake with a cam for pluming to freaking find em nothing

hard little bastards to keep a hold of

 

I did this about 2 yeas ago to a car I used to own. A few days ago the guy that bought called me up and said, "Hey, I went to replace the speakers and couldnt find any bolts in teh defrost. What happened?" I told him they were all in the vent. He said "S**t, that was the rattle i've been hearing for the last year." Yeah, sorry

 

It should hurt any thing if one screw does down ther should it?

 

Biggest problem it would cause would probably be an annoying rattle. But for uptight types like myself, it bothers us knowing we dropped something down there!

 

umm, you guys know you can cover the vent with a rag, or cardboard, ect..... then the screw cant fall down it.

thinking ahead about "dont drop the screw" is nice, but its smarter to do something to prevent it, other then just thinking about it.

 

Your one of them guys that reads the instruction manual before your project is halfway assembled arent you? I have heard of people like you before. (hehe just messin with ya man)

 

no, i rarely read the directions.....



... but ive screwed up enough times to learn some things.

 

I was very careful to ensure I didn't drop the screws down there - and I didn't. I dropped the socket from my wrench instead.
