my hoes right door speaker is kicking in and out (no doubt from the insane system I run shook the speaker wire lose) I would like to disassemble the door panel and fix this annoying problem but I cant seem to find a way the door pops apart online. I really don't wanna have to force this thing off for I have bad luck and will probably break the whole panel.


I'm sure alot of you out there have delt with this before...please help me

there are 2 screws in the armrest, those must be removed. Then pop off the trim piece that is located at the top of the door near the front of the vehicle (plastic snap, just pop it off, I use my fingers to gently remove it).

Then using a large flat head screwdriver but preferably a door removal tool pry the door panel off working your way around the outside. The door panel is held on by several plastic retaining pins, EXPECT to break several. They can be purchased cheaply at a dealer or Auto Parts store.

As long as you remove the 2 screws in the armrest, and remove the trim piece and are carefull not to snap the panel itself, it's an easy job. Goodluck!

yeah, exactly. the toughest piece is the triagle by the mirror. you will most likely break that pop rivit thingy... its a pain.
I think 9 hold on the door. start with the outer lower corner and then work across the bottom, then up the outer side. the up the inner side. the inner side can be problamaticdepending on your prying tool. once all are removed, and all your controls are disconnected, you can lift UP on the panel to remove it. it 'hangs' on the window 'sill' if you wanna call it that. where the glass dissappears into the door.
get the part from the dealer they are like 84 cents or something each.
