*BLOWN SPEAKER* How do you replace the rear speakers (in the rear deck) safely?
My girlfriend has a 2001 C240 and the rear right speaker is blown I want to replace it. I've searched on this site and many other Mercedes forums and can't find instructions on how to replace the rear speaker(not the one in the door). Can anyone give me instructions or point me in the right direction on how to go about this easily and safely without breaking anything. It's probably really simple but, I wanted to ask you guys first because I know many of you have done this. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Then you will be able to see the backrest lower bolts and the seat belt bolt. Remove these.
Open the trunk and look at the rear shelf cross-member. There are two oval-rectangle shaped covers which you need to unclip to expose the lock clips of the upper section of the backrest.
Be aware that vacuum hoses run into this seat also.
Once dislodged you will be able to see the mushroom retainer clips that hold the rear shelf in place. Ease out carefully with a pronged tool or fine needlenose pliers.
Now remove the C-pillars as they are interlocked into the shelf.
The shelf now slides out and exposes the speaker.
