i read some other posts on this - so you actually cut the rear panel
for the non-4x6's, b/c the grille is for 4x6? then they mount ... on
the panel? ... OR you use the modified backing plate and leave the
panel alone?

one more : i was considering using a razor to cut the vinyl that's
under the window gasket in the case that i leave the (other) window in
place - as long as there is sufficient vinyl to go under the gasket at
the end of the job, are there any troubles associated with that?

aaarrrgggh - don't destroy your car

pulling the window is easy, putting it back is easy - don't cut the vinyl

I said to cut the sheet metal that is underneath the trim - you have vinly
on top of some brown colored wood/cardboard stuff, and under that is the
sheet metal that forms the inner part of the body - you can cut that sheet
metal if you need to for a 6X9 - just cut the minimum, and don't mess up the
seat belt. There is NO grille on a 944, just some holes through the
vinyl - don't make your car look like some idiot owned it by cutting those
rear panels - do the job right - you have a really nice car, don't mess it
up
