The tools required to take off the door panels include a small flathead screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver and either an automotive panel removal tool or a large flathead screwdriver.

Removing the OEM door speakers requires an 8mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

The first step is to pry out the small square trim cover behind the door opener handle with a small flathead screwdriver to reveal the first Phillips head screw.

Then pry out the rectangular trim cover behind the door pull handle just below the arm rest with the small flathead screwdriver. Behind the cover you'll see two more Phillips head screws.

Set the two trim panels aside in a safe place.

Once the screw is removed, you can pry out the larger trim panel behind the door opener handle to access the 2nd screw.

Remove the two screws below the arm rest with the Phillips head screwdriver by turning them counter clockwise.

Move to the bottom of the door panel and firmly pull it towards you to disengage the plastic pop rivet fasteners.

You may need to use an automotive panel pry bar tool or a flathead screwdriver to snap out the first few fasteners.

Pry out the step courtesy light housing at the middle bottom of the panel with the small flathead screwdriver.

Pry out the rear edge of the housing first.

Then disconnect the power plug and set the housing aside in a safe place.

Lean the top of the door panel towards yourself while supporting the bottom with your thighs.

Press the release button on the white electrical connector at the bottom of the switch panel and slide it straight out of its socket.

Pop the grey plastic collar out of the bracket and lift the metal ball at the end out of its socket.

Pull the grey plastic collar out of the bracket and lift the metal bar at the end out of its socket.

If you need to access the power window motor, you'll have to peel back the white plastic cover.

Remove the screws by turning them counter clockwise with the 8mm socket and ratcheting wrench.

You can upgrade the OEM door speakers with 5 1/4" (5.25"), 6 1/2" (6.5") or 6x9 inch speakers.

I'd recommend purchasing new speakers from Amazon since you can verify that they will fit your vehicle and whether or not you will need a mounting bracket.

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

To re-install the door panel, first hold it near the frame and angle the top towards yourself.

Re-insert the metal ball at the end of the door opener handle cable in to its socket and then snap the grey plastic collar in to the bracket.

Push the white plastic power plug straight in to its socket at the bottom of the switch panel.

Pull the power connector for the step courtesy light housing out of the rectangular hole at the bottom of the panel.

Line up the orange pop rivet friction fasteners on the rear of the door panel with the corresponding holes in the door frame.

Push the power plug in to the socket on the step courtesy light housing. Re-insert the wires and front edge of the housing in first and then pop the rear edge in to place.

Replace the interior Phillips head screw behind the door opener handle located closer to the rear of the panel.

Then replace the other Phillips head screw and pop the small rectangular cover in to place over it.

Pop the rectangular trim panel back in to place.

Sit in the vehicle, close the door, and verify that the door lock/unlock switch, power window switch and door opener handle all work properly.
