Telephone speaker cut-out, C-post




- Pull off the rubber strip at the rear edge of the door opening to the left-hand rear door opposite the left C-post panel
- Carefully pry off the left-hand C-post panel at the sides in the top edge using a plastic weatherstrip tool. Pull off until the three clips on the inside release. Do not damage the headlining or the panel
- Remove the panel by pulling upwards slightly and unhooking from the side panel.




- Fold the backrest of the second row of seats forwards. The backrest will then be used as a work surface
- Position the C-post panel with the front side facing down on, for example, a block of wood to cut out holes for the receiver
- To prevent scratching the panel place a blanket or similar over the block of wood
- Fold the foam rubber out of the way.




- Cut out a hole in the panel following the embossing on the inside. Use a utility knife or similar.

Note! Do not make the hole too large. The edges of the telephone speaker are only 1 mm (1/32") larger than the dimensions of the cut-out.

- Test and adjust using a file until the telephone speaker is seated.




- Press the telephone speaker into the hole on the C-post panel
- Fold the foam rubber back into place.




- Disconnect the existing cable secured at the C-post
- Make a hole in the foam rubber. Thread the connector through to the receiver cut-out
- Connect the connector to the telephone speaker cut-out.

Hint: Connect the connector before pressing the telephone speaker into the hole on the C-post panel as there is limited space.

- Reinstall the C-post panel with the cut-out for the telephone speaker.
