Owners of other Chrysler Group vehicles with similar door panels such as the Dart, Challenger, Durango, Charger, Grand Caravan, 200, 300, RAM C/V Tradesman, Jeep Patriot, Compass and Cherokee may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a small flathead screwdriver, a Torx T20 star bit screwdriver, a large flathead screwdriver or an automotive panel removal tool and a pair of needle nose pliers.

To remove the power window motor, you'll need a Torx T30 screwdriver.

Gently pry out the plastic trim piece behind the door opener handle with the small flathead screwdriver.

Then pry out the rectangular plastic trim panel at the bottom of the door pull well in the arm rest with the small flathead screwdriver.

Set the two trim panels aside in a safe place.

Set the screw aside next to the trim piece.

Set the two screws aside with the trim panel.

On some models, the sail panel may also contain a tweeter speaker that will need to be unplugged.

Set the sail panel aside with the other pieces.

Firmly pull out the bottom of the panel to release the pop rivet friction fasteners.

Continue pulling out the friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Pull the white plastic collar out of the bracket and swing the cable away from the door panel.

Pop the metal bar at the end of the cable out of the light tan "C" shaped plastic collar.

Press the release button on the switch panel's light grey electrical connector and slide the plug straight out of its socket.

The OEM door speaker is located at the inner bottom corner of the metal door frame.

Pull the speaker out of the door frame and press the release button on the power plug before sliding it straight out of the socket.

I'd recommend purchasing new speakers from Crutchfield since they usually provide any necessary wiring harnesses, electrical plug adaptors and mounting brackets.

To make your new speakers sound better and reduce road noise, I'd recommend applying Dynamat Sound Deadener to the metal door frame to stop vibrations and rattles.

The power window motor is held in place by three Torx T30 screws.

To replace the plastic door panel, hold it near the door frame and tilt the top towards yourself while supporting the bottom with your legs.

Re-insert the metal bar at the end of the door opener handle cable in to the light grey plastic piece.

Push the white plastic collar near the end of the cable in to the black plastic bracket until the two prongs are securely holding it in place.

Lower the door panel down on to the lip at the top of the metal door frame.

Line up the white plastic pop rivet friction fasteners on the rear of the door panel with their corresponding holes in the metal door frame.

Line up the metal friction fastener on the rear of the sail panel and push it back in to place.

Push in the rectangular plastic trim piece at the bottom of the door pull well to cover the screws.
