anyone know of this when installing new speakers on the rear how can the rear door panels have to be removed.

You remove the door handle cover, then the screw in the "ashtray" and then start popping the panel from the bottom up.

 

The information can also be found in the stickies in the Audio & Electronics subforum.

 

This is the exact procedure. I don't remember for the rears, but I remember the fronts have a square shaped hole at the bottom of the door, which is where I start my poppin from.

After you've taken them off a few times, it gets very easy. Just try not to break those blue clips that hold it in place.

 

When I did my damplifier install on my maxima, I noticed a similar notch on the rear panels too. I would definately keep a few clips handy in case to break a few

good luck

 

I cant seem to get that round door handle thingy out its so confusing though.
is there pictures i can view appreciate it.

Use a flathead screwdriver to pop off the trimming around the door handle. If you look very closely w/o actually removing the trimming (just slightly pulling on it), you'll notice where the clips are that hold it in place.

 

I broke one of mine... It cost me like $9 + $5 shipping to replace it from Nissan.

 

Just be careful and try to pop at the clips if you don't you put weird angle stress on them and that is how they break. Don't be stared to do it though so what if you break a couple clips it is a learning experience.

 

i did all of that and the door handle with the screw taken off doesnt come off..

any more help appreciate it.

3 things to remove when removing back door panels.

Screw in change cup
Change cup itself
Trim ring around door handle

...that is it. Nothing more.

Then put your fingers in the square hole on the bottom edge of the door panel, pull firmly outwards to pop the panel, then upwards to lift off of window sill.

 

^^^^^^^^

Viola... Don't be scared to pull a little more then firmly once you remove the above three things. It was said... it will be a little tough at first since it was never done.
