S13 coupe owners- how the eff to take the brakelight off the rear deck?

[lofapoo]

I'm trying to change out my rear speakers but the brakelight is keeping me from taking the cover off of the rear deck. I see on both sides of the light housing there are two screws, both spin freely. I've been picking at them for a while and no dice, can anyone help a brother out here? TIA

unscrew them out slowly and then you can pull them out

if your refering to the plastic screws they just pop out , then there are 3 to 4 more metal screws that hold the light to the metal deck.

I had to take a butter-knife and stick it behind the ring that the screw is screwed into to give it some pressure then the screws came out with ease. Would not work otherwise.

Haha, damn these speakers are fugly

when I got my S13 the part of the peaker that connects the metal frame to the paper cone was totaly gone.Edit: Its also not that hard to put 6x9 back there. that what i did.

Eh, 6x9s, yucky.

I'm not a fan of the oval style speakers. If I had some adapter plates I'd put the rear stockers up front to get rid of the 4x6s

from what i remember... you also have to remove, or move some of the carpet out of the way. its held in by some sort of bracket. its been a while sorry.

[lofapoo]

Yeah the rear deck cover is held in the center by the brake light bracket, two simple screws remove this piece with ease.

[wangless]

i think it looks better without the 'third eye'... but for laws its still on there

I didn't know you had to have three brake lights??esp. not for a car as old as ours, i remember that they were a new thing at that point.(sorry, showing my newness @ the legal/not legal thing here...)is that DOT or just for CA?

Eh, 6x9s, yucky.

6x9 are so much better then the stock 6 inchers, at least they will produce bass. also the sound quality is a lot higher on the 6x9
