I replaced the speakers for my 97GC.
These look like they will work. Size wise.
But I dont know what stereo unit you installed.

To gain access to the top fronts.
You will gently pry open the big top panel from where the speedometer cluster bump begins. (near center console)
Its held in with push down friction clips. But they will release.
The reason to be careful is the spongy dash can permanent dent if you pry against it too hard.
Another nice thing, If you wired properly to the existing stereo wiring. The rear tweeters will be activated.
I picked them up at the junk yard. And they gave the van a fuller sound.

Good luck.
Tom

Head unit some cheapo CD Mp3 player. But I do hear big difference!
I do not have GC I have Standard Carvan SE Sports with Factory Cassette FM Stereo Model.
Can I use my hands to pry up or use screw driver ?
About wiring! I just use aftermarket adapter to hook up after market stereo.
Not sure about wiring. I think I have no speaker or Tweeter by rear Hatch back Door
