    1. A01VFJL

      Disconnect the connector.

    2. A01VJNW

      Drill out the 3 rivet heads using a drill with a bit diameter of less than 4 mm (0.16 in.), and remove the rear speaker assembly from the quarter panel.

    3. Operate the drill around the rivet head circumference and cut out the flange.

      CAUTION:

      Be careful. The cut rivet is very hot.

      Note

      Do not drill the rivet at an angle as this will cause damage to the drill and drill hole. Line up the drill and rivet, and carefully drill the rivet head straight out.

    4. After drilling out the flange, continue drilling to push out the shards on the drill.

    5. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the inside of the quarter panel.
