Can anyone guide me thru replacing my door speakers? I need to know how to take the door panels off without F'ing them up.

three screws, then carefully pop it off starting at the bottom, the upper part just rests on the top of the door frame. not too hard, but I would only do it few times as possible.

I think im gonna write another write up on replacing door speakers. Many of you might have seen my rear speaker how to stickied in this section. Ive already done front speakers on my car, but since ive already got to take apart the doors for the sound deading im doing.... might as well fill the need for a quality front speaker how to

WED21, pm me with any specific questions. Im at work now not enough time to give a full writeup.

Good comments by everyone else thou!

That would be great. I removed the 3 screws and still couldn't get the friggin thing off!! I know I'm doing something wrong here. I've got some component speakers just waiting to be put in!!!

you have to pull pretty hard, but don't yank on it or anything... just steady pressure in the corner and u should get it

once the first clip comes out it's pretty simple from there

What he said! You may find that the top inside corner is the easiet place to start pulling from. That little triangular piece that comes up. Once you get one part unsnapped then just work your hands down around the inside edge. Don't be afraid to pull straight out fairly hard. Youll hear a loud pop each time one of the white plastic rivets comes out.

You can also invest $4.00 maybe in a door clip removal tool available at most auto centers. Makes the job much easier. Slips under the panel and pops the panel from the clips. I made my own out of a weed digging garden tool. Ya need a flat piece with a "V" groove in it. Good luck. Watch out for the electric window wires. I found it easier to disconnect them rather than leave the door panel just hang from them. Good luck.
