Default Speaker bar

I didn't want to hijack the other thread where the guy was talking about installing a speaker bar in his Cherokee. I'm actually looking to take mine down to reupholster it since it's flapping in the wind. Does anybody have any good ideas or hints on getting it down. It seems like there are two screws in each trim piece on either side of the cargo area that unscrew, but I couldn't get the trim down easily to pull the bar out.

Any ideas???? Thanks guys!

Its kind of a pain but you have to remove all of the trim from the top and there is one screw in the center where the light is. Once all of the trim is removed it will fall right down.

No problem. Just take your time when you put the trim back up because the screw holes don't line up very well sometimes.

Mine is a combination. The big ones over the rear cargo windows are metal and then some are plastic. We'll see what happens!
