i'm having the hardest time taking the door panels off to replace the speakers. i have the haynes manuel but its not much help. so far i've taken out that tray thing, the door handle on the inside, one of those plastic screws, the lock, and that plastic piece behind the mirror. i try lifting the whole panel up but i can't get it up. any suggestions?

 

there are clips at the bottom. pull the bottom part and they should pop out.

 

should i just yank it, because i'm scared. everytime i've taken things apart i've actually messed things up. i don't want to break anything. thanks for the help.

 

pull forward, the clips you must pull forward, make sure you remove the 2 screws and the clip my the side mirror, and that black peice covers the side mirror from the inside.

 

take out the screws behind the lock, under the arm rest, and behind the black cover behind the mirror. i think thats all of em. I had to lift then pull, and pop out the clips on the bottom.

 

its not as complicated as all that man, i just replaced the speakers on my 94 last weekend AND ran new wire for them. Pop off the plastic piece behind the mirror and the screw in the door handle and by the armrest. Unscrew the lock pin and the rest should just be clips. Use a flathead covered with tape to pry the panel off. Should be cake.

 

i'm afraid of breaking these "clips." they're on the bottom right? thanks for all the help.

 

you got it done?
when i did mine, i first found it pretty hard, but then once i did, i can take off my door panel less than 3 min now. it's a joke
there is a really easy way of doing it. don't work from the bottom, but the front where you can slide ur fingers in.

 

clips are on the bottom and the sides and pull striaght out, once you pop out the clips pull upward.

 

thanks you guys! now i know exactly what everyone's talking about. anyone install components in a 5th gen yet? where did you guys mount the xover and tweeters?
