The tools needed to remove the door panel include a small flathead screwdriver, a plastic pry bar tool and a standard Phillips head screwdriver.

No tools are needed to remove the OEM door speaker.

To prevent from scratching the plastic surfaces, cover the tip of your screwdriver with a thin micro fiber cloth.

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

Then move to the center of the armrest and pry out the small plastic screw cover at the bottom of the door pull well.

Set the two plastic trim pieces aside in a safe place.

Move to the top inner corner of the door frame and locate the triangular shaped sail panel.

On some Mitsubishi models, the sail panel contains a tweeter speaker.

Use the plastic pry bar tool to gently pull the sail panel off the door frame.

(It is not necessary to disconnect the tweeter speaker power plug to remove the door panel.)

The door opener handle screw is long and thin.

Then remove the screw at the bottom of the door pull well in the center of the armrest by turning it counterclockwise with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Set the two screws aside in a safe place.

Insert a large flathead screwdriver or the plastic pry bar tool in between the bottom edge of the door panel and the metal door frame.

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

Lift the door panel up and off the top of the metal door frame.

Tilt the top edge of the door panel towards yourself and support the bottom edge with your legs.

The cable with the yellow plastic collar at the top is attached to the door lock rocker switch. The door opener handle cable has a blue plastic collar.

Pull the plastic collar out of the bracket, swing the cable away from the door panel and then lift the metal cylinder at the end of the cable out of its socket.

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

Press in the release tab at the top of the OEM door speaker before sliding it straight out of its socket.

I recommend applying some Dynamat Sound Deadener to the metal door frame. It will help reduce any vibrations or rattles when you crank up the volume and allow your new speakers to sound their best.

To replace the plastic door panel, hold it near the door frame and tilt the top edge towards yourself.

Push the two power plugs back in to their sockets on the underside of the switch panel.

Replace the cable for the door lock switch by re-inserting the metal cylinder in to the top socket and then snap the yellow plastic collar in to the bracket.

Line up the white plastic pop rivets on the back side of the door panel with their corresponding holes in the metal door frame.

Firmly tap in the pop rivets all along the bottom and both sides of the door panel.

Line up the sail panel and push it on to the door frame.

Re-insert the longer and thinner screw behind the door opener handle.

Re-insert the shorter and thicker screw in to the bottom of the door pull well in the center of the armrest.

Tighten the Phillips head armrest screw in the clockwise direction until it is snug.

Gently pop in the plastic trim piece behind the door opener handle.

Sit inside the SUV, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, door lock switch, power window switch and power door lock switch all still work properly.
