Default 2003 ES Subwoofer removal procedure

Help, please. $5 dollar procedure from carsteroeremoval.com was only good up to 2001 model year.

Default Subwoofer repair UPDATE

Jo, my wife, is very impressed during operational check. Sound is back to normal. Torn damage around the woofer's foam edge around the frame is repaired using hot glue gun. Dries in 2 min. Procedure provided from this link:

Added tips: 1) Recommend removal of the 3 screws attaching the seat belt retaining clips on both sides after pulling out the back seat. Install retaining clips before back seat installation. 2) At the trunk, push the spkr wire retaining clip up (black, left of the spkr) to give you more play in disconnecting it from the spkr and acces cover 2 white retaing clips up located front/side. 3) You can disconnect the brake light wire by sliding light cover to your left 1/2 inch, lifting the front and pulling towards the front. 4) As you slide access cover forward, push down on the side/corner one at a time to release the white plastic hooks attached to the access cover. Make the necessary repair and perform operational check. Good luck....
