I need info on how to remove the front door panels on a 2005 F-150 so i can install power windows and locks without damaging the brackets on the inside. I tried to remove it the other day and right away i broke a bracket.

 

There are quite a few posts on this if you search, but here's the jist of it....

2 bolts behind the small panel in the inside door handle
1 bolt under the armrest (maybe.... by reg cab STX didn't have one)
4 bolts holding the speaker in (once you take the cover off)
2 bolts at the bottom of the panel

Holding the door panel on each side, pull UP and toward you at the same time. It should come off very easily. Pulling straight out will break one of the clips.
Hope I didn't forget anything....

 

If you would like, e-mail me and I will forward you a set of instructions and related pictures. I got these from an audio merchant which offered them with a set of speakers I bought.

 

In addition to what Birdman said, after popping off the speaker grill and taking out the four speaker screws and removing the speaker, you will need to pull out the bottom 2 screw inserts behind the speaker. They get in the way of pulling the door panel up and off.

 

Ah yes, forgot that, sorry....

 

thanks a ton guys ill give it another shot tommorow when i get home.
