Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Does anyone have a picture to show where the clips are on the inside of the rear of the inner speaker side panel, I've read a few threads which explain how to pull the cover off but i can't find anything with pictures & I'm not convinced with what I've read, it's not my car so i don't want to break any clips off or damage the panel. The car is an 01 996 Turbo with Bose. Regards Karl
Is this what you need?
You first need to take off the B pillar trim (steps 1-4):
Looks good, so remove B pillar trim, then trim around back of side window which will then allow the speaker panel to be removed. Thanks Richard
I don't think you have to remove the trim around the rear window (C pillar). Just the B pillar trim, so you can get to the screw at the seat belt opening. I'm not too sure you need to remove that panel anyway. Have you tried lifting out the carpet panel behind the rear seats and taking a peek?
Here you go - you can see the top mounts in a photo in this thread: https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.asp?m=612019
I don't think any of that is necessary. If you remove the Bose subwoofer speaker box the tops of the shocks will be visible. I'll be back when I find info.
Found some piccies, which shows I'm WRONG!! Anyway here is a link which shows removal of subwoofer and then the panel to reveal mounts for a 997, which may be similar. http://sharkwerks.com/porsche/technical-articles/187-ecu-removal-installation-guide-for-coupe-996-997-turbo-carrera-s-gt2-gt3.html
ummmmmm it does appear from those pics that the top mounts are under the shelf with the Bose subwoofer & not under the side panels as i previously thought, is it really as easy as just 2 torque screws under the Bose vents & an electrical connection as you slide the shelf out. Karl
Removed the boss carpeted shelf & there they were Thanks
