I agreed to repair a friend's rear speaker grills on his 2002 Camry, but I only imagined it would involve this much work to remove that peripheral panels. Thank you so much for the insights here; you saved me a lot of guess work and headaches!
Thanks. I'm going to replace the speakers and the grills on my daughter's 2002 Camry LE. I think your video provides the instructions I need. I like your non-rushed patient approach to doing this job.
very helpful on my 2006 Camry, thanks! As another viewer mentioned, there is a 10mm bolt under the SRS airbag cover. Also, when removing the side of the seat after removing the 12 mm bolt in the beginning, go gently and lift it far enough; I cracked the plastic clip on the seat and had to superglue to fix. Also on the plastic philips screws, turn them 1/4 turn and try to pull the head about 1/4 inch out with your nails. If it comes out, it's released. If not, turn another 1/4 turn and try. Otherwise, you can crack the screw case. Finally, a 10mm socket worked really nice to push down the metal retaining clips on the new speaker cover.
I tried the "easy" method but it didn't work for me. So I bit the bullet and followed these instructions. Taking everything out and putting it all back worked like a champ. Just take your time and be organized. It really wasn't that difficult. Took me about 2 hours start to finish. Now my replacement grilles look great. One note: my 4-door 2005 Camry has a small cover in the middle of each of the top-side panels that reads "SRS Curtain Airbag." That covers a 10mm bolt. Pry up on the side toward the front of the car and remove the bolt with a socket wrench. Otherwise the two top-side panels pry off and snap back in place as described in the video. Thank you so much for sharing this how-to video.
Thanks I just used you video to change out my rear deck speaker covers. I just paused at each step and completed it then moved on to the next. Very exact and helpful.
I managed to take apart my 2004 toyota camry with no issue to change out my speakers- because of this video it was super easy with the right tools thank you so much!! Saved me so much money!
Very well done. So many Do it yourself videos are poorly done with the camera bouncing all over the place. You explained what you were doing and the camera angle allowed me to see well. I was actually looking for a video showing how to get to the top strut bolts and since my speaker covers also need to be replaced I can do both jobs at the same time. This was very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do it right.
Thank you for this wonderful, clear video. You have made an impossible task if not easy at least possible. I was able to replace the grid and put the car back together again because of you. I am in your debt.
I wasn't trying to remove my speakers, but I just came here to say that this video helped me out by showing me how I can access my rear seat belt. Thank you for this.
I just pried mine up from the top, pushed the plastic crap through the holes, and snapped in the new ones. Took me maybe 30 minutes tops. This seems like serious overkill to me. Having said that, this is a good demonstration on how to disassemble the back panels in case you need to replace other components. Inside the right rear pillar you can see the keyless entry receiver. Some people's go bad and that's it right there for anyone who needs to replace it.
Yes, when I pried my plastic speaker covers up, to remove them, the plastic pins broke; which seems unavoidable. The broken pins are no problem since we are replacing the grills, anyway. If you are replacing the speakers, the method shown seems best.
Thanks for the detailed instructions and video. I replaced the grills as described no problems due to detailed video and tips..... great video. I did not use the drill, just used the blades from utility knife to shave off the melted plastic works great. Also did this work on a hot summer day in the drive way...the heat made it easy to work with all the plastic panels, clips and molding..something to remember if you are having hard time with the plastic parts.
Replacing the speaker covers on my wife's 2006 Camry. Agreed with other comments that there is a quality and serviceability issue with the speaker covers. That said, your instruction will minimize the frustration getting the job done, thanks!
From a woman who is willing to do the work….. Thank you and keep filming the good work on this particular type, year and model….I have the same one…. I will be checking other videos.
Thanks for the video very helpful and a clean professional job. All these other videos of people just prying off the old cover and gluing them down or just setting them in the holes and calling it good. This is the way to correctly install speakers and covers.
This is simply GREAT! Clear step by step instructions. It may vary slightly with the models which have a side-curtain-airbag. One the whole this is a great presentation. Keep it up.
+darius boland Shame ...Shame ...Shame .. all over the Cheapo & pathetic Toyota company that ,ostensibly , built its name on quality. They could not even think of a better material to build the speakers grill/cover to last a while. Shame on the idiots so called "engineers" at toyota.
I pulled off the old covers, cleaned out the holes with a sharp tool, checked the fit of the new covers, vacuumed the speakers, put hot glue from my glue gun in each hole, snapped in the new covers, all done looks perfect.
What you have watched was my 2006 Camry speaker grille covers being replaced. This is a labor-intensive replacement but the parts are relatively inexpensive. You can do it yourself but it takes time. I found this shop to be quite helpful. The heat of the Florida sun seems to cause speaker grille covers to deteriorate and the crumbs from the old grille covers if not replaced will affect the sound. Six months later the replaced covers look like new.
Thanks for the instructions. Who woulda thunk that this operation would be so difficult? I'm thinking that Toyota had no idea that these girilles would self-destruct. Changing brake pads is easier. Really! (nothing against you of course - you rock!)
Thank you for showing this. I needed to know how to do it and your steps were very clear. I was hoping to pull an old out one of a junkyard, but I will see if I can get a new one too...
When I replaced my speaker covers in my 03 Camry, I didn't have to do all what was described in this video. Yes, the speaker covers do deteriorate for all these cars
This is a tremendously helpful video. I have a 2006 with side curtain airbags, so there is a small cover on each upper side piece that needed to be pried out and a bolt behind it that needs removed. I was installing speakers, too, which required an adapter bracket to be made that was no small undertaking. Thanks FCSR!
Excellent video. My grill covers are shot in my 2005 Camry. The car only has 230,000 miles on it. I think after I take all this crap out, I'm going to take the seats out too, and throw them away. with all of that stuff out of the car, I should end up with a nice businessman's coupe or a Toyota Camry minivan that I can load full of boxes for moving.. 😂

was thinking of replacing my speakers. Had no idea it took this much effort just to access the rear speakers!!!! I had thought the speakers could be accessed from the trunk.
I started working on this for about an hour and realized that I had better get some insight as to how those clips worked before I committed to removing the back deck. Now I KNOW what to expect and how much time to allocate. Sheesh re-dick-u-luss ! Oh and the speakers can't be replaced from underneath either. Thank you for the great info video
thanks for the video! used this successfully today to replace the speakers and the covers in my 2006 camry! I didn't have a drill, so I used the "easy method" to replace the covers, but this video was super helpful! my car has side curtain airbags, so i had an extra bolt to remove, but other than that, this was perfect!
This was a great video. I just did it myself yesterday and probably saved a bunch of money. Thanks - would not have even attempted it if I had not seen this. However, I found that going into the trunk and completely removing the black seat back panel at time 4:25 - 5:00 was unnecessary. I just removed the top four plastic clips and pulled the back seat panel back far enough to be able to remove the top deck panel that holds the speaker grills. Also I used a 1/4" drill bit to drill out the holes.
Thank you for sharing! I ordered new parts, watched this movie, and was able to remove my old crumbling covers, and put new ones on in 1 hr and 20 min. No way could I have done it that fast without your detailed steps. Thank you!
Wow, car makers really don't want you to replace their speakers...haha. Needless to say, I will be waiting until the weather gets warmer to replace my speakers. Thanks so much for the video!
Excellent job with the video and explanation. I think I'll just break away the old cover, drill out the old posts in the holes, and install the new ones with some epoxy around the posts.
Use a drill to round out the holes after you get the covers off. Then the posts will go through with no issue. The clips won't go on easy so use a 10mm socket and extension shaft. Then push down on clips and rap with hammer a couple of times. The clips will then seat tight.
Perfect video; thanks. I was hoping they would pop-out, but not if they're melted into place. Oh brother. I'm more likely to just build a cover to fit over the frames which are still there. Mine's an 02 daily-driver getting 500 miles/week recently. I just wish it looked a little less tired. Perfect video though.
All this work because Toyota couldn't spend a wee bit of extra money to get a metalic cover or better yet... Make it more accessible. I don't understand why so much crap must come off just to replace something so simple.

First of all......GREAT video....I'm impressed.....Now Second......HOLY CRAP!!! Uneducated me thought U could 1) access from the trunk or 2) merely glide a flat-head screwdriver slow around & lift up so U could just pop it up for removal then insert the new ones... I could NEVER attempt this..... I can only wonder how much it costs to do this rather I-thought-this-would-be-simple task.....GULP!!!
Hi, Great day to you, I watched the above video it was a good one. This video and explanation was apply to my Toyota Camry 2003 XLE V6 I got stuck when try long to remove the back panel covering the speakers. I try for about an hour but could not figure out what I need to do, though my car has a back pulldown shade which I don't think is the problem. Please be kind to do a video to cover this mode of Toyota Camry. Find attend is the pic tire my position. Thanks you Babatunde Imam Nigeria
You can just pry them off, vacuum out the mess with a shop vac, dress the holes and put new ones on. OEM, will just sit in the holes or you can use some velcro. There are kits with plastic clips also. None of this is necessary here.

It's really not hard to remove the panels and the clips. The biggest pain is drilling out the old pins and cleaning up the hundreds of pieces of old plastic.
I replaced these grills in my 04 Camry. It took me about an hour to do from start to finish. The replacement grills are less than $10 at a Toyota dealer. They only come in two colors, gray and beige, and most Toyota parts departments will stock these. The new grills are a better material than the originals.
I can't believe how much work it takes to replace the rear speaker covers. You have to remove so many parts it's crazy, I think I will just cut some nice material and cover the speakers. The speakers are fine it's just the covers that disintegrated from the sun you can call me lazy but I'm not going to spend half a day replacing the speaker covers 30 minutes and I will have the problem solved 😂
I’m in the middle of the process right now. It’s a giant pain, ridiculous design. But it’s all working out as he suggests. I’m trying to replace the speakers too though. Unfortunately the 6x9’s I got were the wrong mount size :( Now I’ve got to figure out getting speakers that fit.
Great instructions for the "By-the-Book" way, but some kid (Taylor D) shows the easy way and it worked in 15 minutes. I like your way, but I prefer easy.
The whole back panel area looks completely different on my 2002 Camry. I also have an itching suspicion that there is an easier way to access the speakers without removing the panel from the car. I’m just too scared of breaking stuff to find out
yeah I replaced these too but,,,was pain in the ass...the guy in the video is very skilled, and it took me about an half day to finish this....really bad design of the camry
@@cltrump3328 I don't have to do is click on the little magnifying glass search icon for RUclips. How to remove rear speakers in 08 Toyota Camry with leather blah blah blah blah whatever you said. Find a video on it and watch it. No video go to Google read how to do it. You're welcome
If this video isn't gonna be edited to accommodate removal of the 10mm bolt hidden underneath the SRS AIRBAG cover plate that holds the rear C pillar covers in place then you should take it down. Failure to make note of this combined with the confidence the viewer may have in your knowledge and thoroughness could very likely lead to them damaging their vehicle. Outside of this very big detail, it's overall a very good instructional video.

Isn't it unsafe to remove the panels where the airbags are located between the rear passenger windows and the rear windshield?
I pulled off the old covers, cleaned out the holes with a sharp tool, checked the fit of the new covers, vacuumed the speakers, put hot glue from my glue gun in each hole, snapped in the new covers, all done looks perfect.
That video is nuts. Takes 10 minutes, tops, to pop those off, vacuum and replace.
Did you make a video?
See I just tried this, but the holes from the old grille legs wouldn’t budge loose to fall in the holes.
This is a great help. I need to do this on my wife's 2005 Camry. Now I know where to start. Thanks for making this helpful video.

Thank-you for making this video. I would have never been able to do this job without your video.
Thanks for the instructions. Who woulda thunk that this operation would be so difficult? I'm thinking that Toyota had no idea that these girilles would self-destruct. Changing brake pads is easier. Really! (nothing against you of course - you rock!)
Brand new replacement grills were only $20, but I don't feel like stripping a quarter of my rear cabin just to put them in. Great video though!
Thank you for your video, I just replaced my speaker grills. Your instruction video helped me immensely. Keep up the good work.
Same here. The video was very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! Just replaced my speaker covers today and this was a HUGE help!
This saved me so much effort, time, and frustration. Thank you for making this!

Had to replace speakers. this vid was a fantastic help. thanks. all pretty well went to plan.
Thank You, for the clarity of the video, I would add for those with a 2016 Camry, there are 2 bolts instead of one as in the video
When I replaced my speaker covers in my 03 Camry, I didn't have to do all what was described in this video. Yes, the speaker covers do deteriorate for all these cars

Thanks for this. Helped a lot. Took me less than an hour with your help.
Video was very helpful, Toyota Dealer parts dapt quoted $900 to replace entire panel with both speaker covers! Just for parts!
thanks for the video! used this successfully today to replace the speakers and the covers in my 2006 camry!

Did you have to disconnect the battery before you removed side curtain airbags?
Thx, helped a lot. Like those two hidden screws under the seat bolsters.

You better hurry. Winter is coming!
Excellent job with the video and explanation. I think I'll just break away the old cover, drill out the old posts in the holes, and install the new ones with some epoxy around the posts.
Cool video.... I'm going to use the steps to change to aftermarket speakers.... relieved to know I don't have to take the seats out.....
Great video. I am nervous to do this but going to try anyway.
Use a drill to round out the holes after you get the covers off. Then the posts will go through with no issue. The clips won't go on easy so use a 10mm socket and extension shaft. Then push down on clips and rap with hammer a couple of times. The clips will then seat tight.
Perfect video; thanks. I was hoping they would pop-out, but not if they're melted into place. Oh brother. I'm more likely to just build a cover to fit over the frames which are still there. Mine's an 02 daily-driver getting 500 miles/week recently. I just wish it looked a little less tired. Perfect video though.
I did it it was simple with the instruction. Done and Done removing the parts and doing it right was ok.

Ed Stallion the people that have this problem should if spent a little more on some tint.
If it was easier to remove the speakers, they would have been stolen...
I believe it's called job security at the dealer ship. However, There is an easier fix on other RUclips channels..

To remove armrest, you need pull up the seat first by hands only. The bolt to hold armrest will be fully accessible.
You can just pry them off, vacuum out the mess with a shop vac, dress the holes and put new ones on. OEM, will just sit in the holes or you can use some velcro. There are kits with plastic clips also. None of this is necessary here.

Is he crazy? That is way too much work to replace two covers..
I would have replaced the speakers too. You're right though, way too much work for just grills.
Mstayfraz I was waiting for him to Jack it up and remove the wheels as well.
It's really not hard to remove the panels and the clips. The biggest pain is drilling out the old pins and cleaning up the hundreds of pieces of old plastic.
I think this was for a customer, and if so, no, he's not crazy, he's making money.
😭 right, just remove the grills and put the new ones on...... tf
The video mentions the speaker removal, four bolts hold each speaker in place once the rear deck removal is complete.
Damn what a nightmare!! I'm not looking forward to putting new speakers in my car :-(

Don't know the removal without seeing it. However, in most cases, the foam surround on the speaker has deteriorated. They can be repaired.

Watched the video and was mentally prepared for all this BS, all it was for my car was a loose red wire! Thanks anyway, great vid
Great instructions for the "By-the-Book" way, but some kid (Taylor D) shows the easy way and it worked in 15 minutes. I like your way, but I prefer easy.
all that trouble for only replacing speaker grills .. was it worth ??1
Yep, worth it.
Thank you very much for your video. This is exactly what I needed to know. Very well done .
The whole back panel area looks completely different on my 2002 Camry. I also have an itching suspicion that there is an easier way to access the speakers without removing the panel from the car. I’m just too scared of breaking stuff to find out
I was looking for a video to remove door lock receiver module....you can see the module when he removes the passenger side pillar cover...thanks
Thank you so much.
I need to rear deck panel.
God bless you.
2000 , 2001 were the last of the best toyotas
Very helpful thank you
I want to change but rear speakers but didn't know I had to remove all this..I don't think I'll be doing this speaker upgrade
yeah I replaced these too but,,,was pain in the ass...the guy in the video is very skilled, and it took me about an half day to finish this....really bad design of the camry
Lol, this is a tuff one, there are tuffer, and many easier ones too. I wonder at times... Who designs this stuff?
Does anyone know how to remove the rear speakers in a 2008 Toyota Camry XLE Fully loaded with leather seats in rear and are not detachable?????
@@cltrump3328 I don't have to do is click on the little magnifying glass search icon for RUclips. How to remove rear speakers in 08 Toyota Camry with leather blah blah blah blah whatever you said. Find a video on it and watch it. No video go to Google read how to do it. You're welcome
This is exactly what I needed - well done!
The 1997-2001 range is pretty similar, from what I can tell. There might be some slight differences but it's essentially the same job.
Awesome video! Thanks for the help
Thank you very much. Very helpful!
Thank you for upload this video, showing step by step very good
Thanks for the video
If this video isn't gonna be edited to accommodate removal of the 10mm bolt hidden underneath the SRS AIRBAG cover plate that holds the rear C pillar covers in place then you should take it down. Failure to make note of this combined with the confidence the viewer may have in your knowledge and thoroughness could very likely lead to them damaging their vehicle. Outside of this very big detail, it's overall a very good instructional video.
What a great video thanks so much for your help
I need to get access to that door control module on that side panel. Is an air bag there? Do I need to disconnect the battery? Thank you!
