Project " Preparation H "...preparing a 2005 Mustang GT

Now the fun begins...this was where I started to get nervous. I did not know how the interior panels were held into place and I did not have a service manual showing an exploded view of the panel layout.
So, I just slowly pulled on a panel until it popped.
I gotta say, that sound still makes me quezzy, but luckily after the whole interior was taken out, I had only broke one tab, and that was because I took the trim out over the passenger door out of sequence.

Notice how the door panel leather trim is sagging down...a common problem on these cars. Some time with 3M headliner adhesive and thoroughly cleaning off the old gray foam from the panels fixed that.

Now that I know the sequence of removal and replacement, it would easier if the need arises.

Not shown is the huge Shaker system speaker and amp box that was located on the pass. side in the trunk. It weighed exatly 60 lbs by itself !
