Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Enclave, Envision, GMC Canyon, Sierra 1500, Acadia, Yukon, Denali, Savana, Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Camaro, Corvette, SS, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado and Express may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to take off the door panel include a small flathead screwdriver, a 7mm socket, an 8mm socket and a large flathead screwdriver or an automotive panel pry bar tool.

The OEM door speaker is held in place by three 7mm screws.

Then gently pry out the plastic trim piece behind the chrome silver door opener handle with the small flathead screwdriver.

Set the plastic trim panel aside in a safe place.

Move to the opening below the arm rest and pry out the plastic screw cover with the small flathead screwdriver.

Remove the screw behind the door opener handle by turning it counterclockwise with a 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.

Set the 7mm screw aside in a safe place.

Set the two 8mm screws aside in a safe place.

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

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

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

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

Locate the door opener handle cable attached to the silver chrome and black plastic bracket.

Swing the cable away from the panel.

Lift the metal ball at the end of the cable out of its socket.

Swing the tan plastic lever up to release the power plug.

Set the plastic door panel aside in a safe place.

If any of the grey plastic pop rivets are still attached to the metal door frame, pry them out with a pop rivet removal tool.

I recommend buying new speakers from Amazon since you can verify that they fit your SUV.

If you'd like to reduce road noise and make your new speakers sound their best, apply some Dynamat Sound Deadener to the metal door frame. It will help stop rattles and vibrations when you crank up the volume.

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

Swing the cable towards the bracket and push the black plastic clip back in to place.

Swing the tan plastic lever closed to secure the power plug in place.

Make sure that the door panel is properly seated on the top edge of the door frame.

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

Replace the two 8mm screws below the armrest by turning them clockwise with the 8mm socket and 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.

Replace the 7mm screw behind the door opener handle by turning it clockwise with the 7mm socket and 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.

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