you have to cut the mesh speaker covers in order to fit them back on the rear panels.

the mesh things just pop off, use a coke can for the template for the hole tp cut in them. if you mean how did i get the cage through the panels i just slid them up to the top so i could bolt the cage in and slide them back down.

those just pop off. the ones on the passengers side hide the spare tire, you turn three rivets left to unlock and they just come off. once they come off i slid them up the roll cage so i could bolt the cage in. sorry i figured you knew that any plast interiors panels besides the dash just pop off with enough force

yeah i knew about that plastic "trick" i was just wondering how you accest the stuff underneath the rear panels. i dont have a spare but a battery in the back though, so it really dosnt bother me. thought yours was welded too, that makes it easier for you to move your cage around with the bolted down stuff

I think you should bring it to me and let me wrap it in black leather, do a nice stitch job. Bring it all together at the connections and stitch it together... It would match...
