Door Panel help

How do I get my door panel off? I can't get to my speakers, and I heard that you need a special tool to get to the lock.

No special tool required. Once you get the bottom screws out everything else pretty much snaps out. I had a little trouble with the trim around the door handle, but that just clips out as well. Use a flat head screw driver and pry it out from the top and bottom not the sides.
Good luck

yea, preatty much what he said, two screws on bottom,
a screw in the little hole for where you grab the door from the inside( not sure what you would call it) and the trim around the inside handle which i thought you pull and pry to the right or left and then just pull the panel evenly from the bottom and work your way up.....

you can take a putty knife and cut half of it off and smooth it up real good, its a great tool for removal of all interior trim. another is to take a flat head screwdriver and put a slight bend to the tip and smooth it out. either one will leave less or no marks on your trim during removal

Figured it out. Thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah the only thing I had trouble with was the handle.

Circuit City wanted to charge me $33 to install these speakers I bought, and the guy told me I needed a special tool, and they also told me it'd take an hour It only took me 20min to install the speakers.
