The tools needed to remove the front door panels include a plastic trim removal tool and a Phillips head screwdriver.

The OEM door speakers are also held in place by standard Phillips head screws.

Use a plastic pry bar tool to gently remove the sail panel located at the top inner corner of the door frame.

On some Honda models, the sail panel may contain a tweeter speaker with a power plug that needs to be disconnected.

Set the sail panel aside in a safe place.

Move to the chrome silver door opener handle.

Use a small flathead screwdriver or a small trim removal tool to push in the release tab on the front edge of the trim cover located behind the door opener handle.

You'll see two Phillips head screws located behind the door opener handle.

Move to the rear edge of the electrical switch panel.

Gently pry up the rear edge of the switch panel to release the retaining clips.

Then pry along the outside edge of the switch panel.

Try to avoid using excessive force. The switch panel's retaining clips should pop out relatively easily.

Turn over the switch panel to access the electrical connector.

Push in the release tab on the electrical connector before pulling the power plug straight out of its socket.

Remove the two screws located behind the door opener handle by turning them counterclockwise with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Remove the screw in the center of the armrest that was hidden by the switch panel.

Loosen it in the counterclockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver.

You may need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the armrest screw unless your screwdriver happens to have a magnetic tip.

Remove the screw by turning it counterclockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver.

At this point, you should have removed the sail panel, switch panel, door opener handle screw cover trim piece and four Phillips head screws.

Insert the plastic 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 the pop rivets all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

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

Locate the green plastic electrical connector for the courtesy step light housing.

Push in the release tab on the power plug before sliding it straight out of its socket.

Pull the black plastic collar off the white plastic piece near the end of the cable.

Lift the white plastic piece near the end of the cable out of the "C" shaped metal bracket.

Lift the metal elbow bar out of its socket on the back side of the door opener handle.

The OEM door speaker is located at the front lower corner of the metal door frame.

It is held in place by three Phillips head screws.

The OEM front door speakers can be replaced with aftermarket car speakers in the following size: 5 1/4" (5.25").

I highly recommend applying some Dynamat sound deadener to the metal door frame. It will help stop vibrations and rattles to allow your new speakers to sound their best.

Tilt the top edge of the door panel away from the door frame.

Re-insert the bar at the end of the door handle opener cable into its socket.

Pop the white plastic piece near the end of the cable into its "C" shaped metal socket.

Push the green plastic power plug for the courtesy step light bulb back into its socket.

Line up the door lock stalk with its corresponding hole at the top outer corner of the door panel.

Pull the electrical connector for the switch panel out of the opening in the armrest.

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

Replace the Phillips head screw underneath the armrest by turning it in the clockwise direction until it is snug.

Tighten it in the clockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Push the electrical connector for the switch panel back into its socket.

Firmly push down the switch panel to secure it in place.

Replace the two Phillips head screws behind the door opener handle by turning them in the clockwise direction until they are snug.

Push on the cover until it "clicks" securely into place.

Push the sail panel back into place.

Sit inside the minivan, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, door lock stalk, power window switch, power door lock switch, courtesy step light and speaker all still work properly.
