does anybody know of a write up to replace the front speakers? just got the rears done, and i'm having trouble getting to the fronts...

i read thru all the FAQ's and didn't find anything.

Thanks

 

remove teh panels, do a search on the faq's for the door panel removal

 

pictures are down. i got all the screws out, but it's being real tough right by the top left (where the mirror is)...

 

you need to remove the interior door handle finisher ( the plastic peice around the handle), then look into the cup on the armrest on the door panel. in the center of the bottom of the cup, there is a cap that covers a screw. pull the little cap off, then unscrew the screw, and pull the the entire cup out. then there are 2 screws on the very bottom of the door panels.. get on your knees, and look , and you'll see them. unscrew those two screws, and the only thing hold the door panel on is the plastic clips. pull the door panel loose, and then lift it up off the top of the door.. you will have to disconnect the little interior light on the door too. pop off the clear lense, and take out the 2 screws that hold it on. the hardest part is the plastic around the door handle.. look in the tsb section, under interior rattles, and itll show you how to take it off i think, along with the door panels

 

Don't be afraid to manhandle the door panel a little bit.

 

this is probably the hardest part of removing the door panel if you have all the screws out you can either tug on the door really hard or you can try to reach up to the trim peice and pop the stub loose with a screw driver what ever you do dont try to pry the door handle trim off by itself

 

You have to use a little force and wince a little. Don't worry, the door panel is pretty flexible.

 

Once you have the thing around the handle off, the screws taken out knubs pulled out (correct me if you haven't gotten to this point yet) you should just be able to pull up the back part up then slide it towards the back of the car. Not really any great force necessary. The hardest part for me was getting the door handle cup off.

This was really helpful to me. Don't remember where it came from.


I'm not sure how to make that bigger, so if somebody else knows how then feel free.

 

thanks for the help, i finally got it. what a pain in the ***.

 

ya i broke my trim piece in half. i'll just superglue it back, if it dont look good i'll buy another.



but whateva.
