MOHPro Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I own a 2012 SEL and recently completed a sound system install. The install involved removing practically the entire interior of the car. I will post the fastener size for each interior component I removed (I might have missed some) along with many pictures. This will more than likely take me several days to post all the pictures so please follow this post if you want notifications of any updates I make to it. I hope some of you can find this pictorial useful should you need to remove any interior components of your car. Fastener Sizes: negative battery terminal bolt: 8mm splash guard bolt: 7mm alternator mounting bolt: 13mm alternator mounting stud nuts: 15mm alternator mounting studs: 7mm or 1/4 alternator battery cable nut: 13mm alternator tensioner bolts: 10mm Ground strap: 8mm or 5/16 passenger seat seat belt anchor bolt: 13mm All seat bolts: 13mm rear seat bolsters: 10mm spare tire: 19mm factory sony amp mounting bolts: 10mm trunk pull down strap: T 27 C pillar bolts: 8mm Rear seat belts: T 50 Rear doors inside door handle trim: T 20 Rear doors arm rest trim panels: 7mm Rear doors upper door trim panel: T 20 Rear doors speaker screws: T 20 B pillar bottom bolt: 10mm B pillar upper bolt: 8mm Driver seat belt bolt: T 50 Rear Hangars (the things attached to the headliner that you can hang clothes from or hold on to if the driver is driving like a maniac and you are scared): 2 phillips screws Front doors inside door handle trim: T 20 Front doors armrest trim panel: 7mm Front doors upper and lower door trim panel: T 20 Front doors speaker screws: T 20 Front door tweeters: phillips screws Center console rear bolts: 7mm Center speaker storage bin: 8mm Front center speaker: 7mm Dash tether: 10mm Radio trim panel: 7mm Radio: 7mm Rear doors inside handle retaining bolts and silver metal inner door trim: 8mm Power window motors: T 20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGooSE12 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Good to know! I hate my beige interior. Maybe someday I'll luck out and find a junker with a different color in there. I'll know not to grab my SAE tools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
