Taking rear interior apart - help please
Friday, April 29, 2005 8:55 PM
Tomorrow I'm planning to run a 12v and ground source through my whole car so that they'll be handy for all of the new LEDs I'll be installing over the next 2 weeks. I'm going to run a red and black wire from the area under the steering column all the way to the back, then around through the trunk and down the other side.

I am completely familiar with how to take the whole front dash and doors apart, but how do you go about removing the side panels in the rear? Any help is much appreciated. I have an 03 Cavalier.

Also, does anyone know any tricks for running wire into the doors through the conduit that runs into the car? There is not much room to work with in there and I have not been able to feed anything through since there's a 90 degree bend.

Thanks!

Steve

to feed wires through the door use a stiff coat hanger, use your hands on the conduit to help feed it through, i just twisted back and forth and used my fingers to get it through the little bends. no problem at all.. then fish it down to around where the speakers are and and its done

Not sure if it's the same for 03+, but I'd guess it is...

You'll have to remove the hooks, and remove the upper seatbelt support, and unbolt the seatbelt from just inside the door sills. Once you do this, the sides just pull out. The seat has a clip on (I think) the passenger side that has to be removed, then the seat itself will slide to the passenger side. Lift out the drivers side, then slide back toward the drivers side and it will come out. It's kind of keyholed on the side without the clip, so you have to hold the seat like halfway down for it to slide. Once you have the top out, the bottom just pulls out. There are two snap in clips holding in the front.
