A very low level question I'm sure for this group: how to remove the door panels to replace the speakers? Power windows rather than cranks.

I don't even see where to start! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It's really easy! Gently pry off the trim ring around the door handle (one screw behind there). Gently pry off the panel that has the switches in it (one screw behind there). Remove two screws at the bottom of the door panel. Start at the bottom of the panel and pry the panel loose from the door itself. Lift up to finish removal. You shouldn't need any tools to pry the parts loose. Just stick your fingers under them and pry out. Remember to be careful so you don't break anything. Hope this helps.

Follow what Robdude said, but I found once you get all of the screws out, just push up on the panel and it will slide right out. Only thing he left out is the light at the rear of the door panel (with the reflector). Once the panel comes away from the door, you will see a wire going to this light on the back of the panel. Twist it 90° and it will pop out. Oh yeah, you will also have to unplug the window and doorlock controls (and power mirrors on driver side if you need them).

When prying off the trim panels (on the door panel), just use your fingers. Grab the trim ring around the door handle from the front and pull out. The trim around the controls should also be grabbed towards the front. When you get it out, you will see why.

Good Luck!!
