Default Bose radio removal

How?? :confused: How do I get the radio out of the car? I have looked at it and have even removed some screws, but something that I can't see is holding it in there... Is there a trick or something?

It's a 1987 coupe

If you removed the 4 front screws already,the antenna wire and the stereo wires are holding the radio back.Its gona be tight and youll have to pull the radio up a little and see if you can get a hand back there and knock the antenna wire off and then turn the radio sideways to unclip the wire connectors on the harness.

It suxs but GM didnt give much room to work in there without taking the entire dash out.

If you absolutely cannot get it out, then you may consider taking out the passenger seat, take off the console plates, and pull away the carpet on the side of the console and stick your hand in there to get the wires off, but you shouldnt have to.

Hmm... mine was easy. Yank the 4 bolts, pull forward, pop off antenna and harness.
