Merc Dr. Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 How do the front door panels come off? Are they held on with "christmas trees" or do they slide up once the screws are removed? I plan to put new speakers in this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I happen to be in the middle of doing this. Here is how it goes: 1) Remove the manual door lock slider (pops off with a screwdriver), remove the hex head screw underneath. 2) Remove hex head screw behind the hand grab of the door handle. Lift door panel up. This will free it from the door, but you may want to hang the top back on the window sill to hold it while you do the next steps. 3) Disconnect the wire going to the light in the lower rear of the panel. 4) From the other side, remove the screw holding the front of the switch panel (electric locks, windows, mirror switches) in place. Rear of switch panel is held in place with spring clip. 5) Now you can pull the switch panel out and unplug the wires from the panel. 6) Now you are free and clear to remove the door panel from the door.

kcsilveradoss Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 only thing i would add to this is do not reinstall the screw that holds the switch plate down, i left mine out, and they stay down just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
