You disconnect it from the trim piece. Onced the trim piece has been pulled out of its place, it will still be attached to the air bag wire. If I remember correctly, you have to hold the trim piece with one hand and with the other, pull the air bag wire toward the front of the vehicle(away from the back window).

There is a sort of like a groove in the trim piece where the air bag wire is attached to the trim piece. It's not screwed in. It's just held in place by sliding it into the groove in the trim piece.

Awesome! Thanks !

Are you guys sure you're not mistaking the rear defroster connection for an air bag wire?

If you are talking about the purple wire you see in this picture, it's part of the rear defroster.

It's not the the purple wire for the defroster. Wouldn't even call it a wire. More like a thin strap of some sort that attaches to the trim piece. I may be wrong, but think its meant to keep the trim piece from flying out when the airbag deploys.

if you put it on top, would it make the speaker hang LESS in the trunk?

I work there, and I hate to diss my own company... My manager asked me why I didn't have the Install Bay at Best Buy do it... I'm thinking to myself, cause if they break something they won't tell you they'll just cover it up. So yes. Sick write up, if you have a video even better. I'll be doing this next week ;] Probably going to mount speakers on the outside. Incase I blow them and want an easy replace :]

Thanks for this!! I'm not looking forward to doing this, but I have to replace a blown rear speaker. It's driving me nuts!!

Next mod

bump for a good ass write up. hopefully my friend and i will be able to do this tomorrow

Crutchfield has a DIY

First, let me thank you for this detailed writeup and excellent DIY.

Then, allow me to curse the ground you walk on for making this look like less of a colossal pain that it is! LOL

I finished this today and installed my JL c2-690 speakers in the rear.

It took about 4 hours. I hit a little snag in that my ******** box needed to go a bit further in because it was blocking my ability to get the drivers side screws in on the 6x9. Had to do a little work-around there.

The rear deck going back in place gave me a bit of trouble.... Finally got that back together.

Sound system is where I want it now. I doubt I'll do more for a while if at all. Sounds awesome.

Thanks again for the writeup.

Even at 45 degrees I can't get it out....

ok...there is a piece of platic guard to make the seat slide easier that kept moving blocking the seat from coming out on the one side...I had to bend and rip it out...kinda messed that little piece of plastic up a little...hopefully doesnt affect that seat coming forward too much

Damn... Still have to remove the entire backseat for the 2014 version? This was a pain in the but in my 2010 camaro.
