The tools needed to remove the door panels include a small flat head screwdriver, a plastic pry bar tool, a 7mm socket, a 10mm socket, an extension bar and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

To remove the OEM door speakers, you'll need a 7mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet.

The first two steps are to lower the power window all the way down and fully open the door.

Then move to the silver colored door opener handle and locate the plastic trim cover situated behind it.

Use a small flat head screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool to very gently pry out the front edge of the black plastic trim piece located behind the door opener handle.

There are two plastic retaining clips at the front edge of the trim cover and two hooks at the rear edge.

Do not pry at the rear edge of the trim cover (located closer to the back of the car) since the hooks are holding it in place.

Pull out the front edge of the trim cover from behind the door opener handle and slide out the two hooks.

Set the trim cover aside in a safe place.

Use the plastic pry bar tool and flat head screwdriver to gently loosen the front, rear and sides of the switch panel.

There are plastic hooks along the outer edge.

Try to avoid using excessive force. The switch panel should pop out relatively easily.

If you have trouble removing the switch panel, just be patient and keep on loosening the friction fastener retaining clips with the plastic pry bar tool.

Then move to the top front corner of the door panel and locate the somewhat triangular shaped "sail" panel.

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

Set the bolt aside with the trim cover.

You may need to attach a longer extension bar to the ratchet in order to reach the bolt.

Set the bolt from the armrest aside with the switch panel.

Move to the bottom edge of the door panel and locate the two small black metal screws.

Set the two screws aside in a safe place.

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

Firmly pull out the bottom edge of the door panel to release the pop rivets and plastic retaining clips.

Carefully lift the door panel up and off the upper lip of the metal door frame.

Locate the white plastic mount for the door opener handle cable.

Gently pull back the white plastic clip at the rear edge of the mount to release it from the black plastic bracket.

Then pull out the front edge of the cable mount.

On the front passenger side door panel, there are several electrical connectors including for the tweeter speaker and the door lock switch.

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

Push in the release tab on the white plastic electrical connector at the top of the speaker and slide it straight out of its socket.

Pull the OEM speaker out of the door panel.

The original lower front door speakers can be replaced with aftermarket car speakers in the following compatible sizes: 6 1/2" (6.5") and 6 3/4" (6.75").

I highly recommend applying some Dynamat sound deadener to the metal door frame and the back side of the plastic door panel to help stop any vibrations or rattles when you crank up the volume.

Replace the electrical connectors by sliding them straight into their sockets.

Line up the white plastic mount for the door handle opener cable with the black plastic bracket on the back side of the door panel.

Then push down the rear edge of the mount until it "clicks" into place.

Double check that the cable is securely attached to the back side of the door panel.

Carefully lower the top of the plastic door panel on to the lip at the top of the metal door frame.

Line up the round white plastic pop rivets and the retaining clips with their corresponding openings in the metal door frame.

Firmly tap in the friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Then replace the 10mm bolt behind the door opener handle closer to the top of the door panel.

Replace the two small screws into the bottom edge of the door panel by turning them in the clockwise direction with the 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet until they are snug.

Gently push on the switch panel to secure the retaining clips.

Line up the trim piece behind the door opener handle.

Then push on the front edge of the trim cover to secure the two orange plastic retaining clips.

Sit inside the car, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, door lock switch, power window switch and tweeter speaker and lower speaker are all working properly.

Be sure to record the speaker upgrade in your vehicle's service records.
