The tools needed to remove the door panels include a small flathead screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver and a large flat head screwdriver or an automotive panel removal pry tool.

Gently pry out the plastic trim piece behind the door opener handle with the small flathead screwdriver.

Set the trim piece aside in a safe place.

Then pry off the outer trim piece all along the door pull handle that extends from the top left of the panel down to the arm rest.

There is a hook at the rear edge of the trim cover, so begin prying off the panel near the middle or the top edge.

Gently pull up the electrical switch panel out of the armrest.

Turn over the switch panel to access the electrical connector.

Set the switch panel aside in a safe place.

Remove the screw behind the door opener handle by turning it counterclockwise with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Set the screw aside with its corresponding trim piece.

Remove the Phillips head screw located at the center of the armrest that was underneath the switch panel by turning it counterclockwise.

Firmly pull out the bottom edge of the door panel to disengage the pop rivet friction fasteners.

You may be able to pull out the pop rivets with just your fingers or you may need to pry with a large flathead screwdriver or an automotive panel removal tool.

Gently pop out the red plastic courtesy step light bulb housing at the bottom of the door panel.

It can be pushed out from the rear of the panel or you may pry it out from the outside.

Push in the release tab on the white plastic power plug and slide it straight out of its socket.

Tilt the top edge of the door panel towards yourself and support the bottom with your legs.

Pop out the black plastic collar on the door lock switch cable from the bracket. Swing the cable out away from yourself and lift the metal bar out of its socket.

Pop out the black plastic collar near the end of the door opener handle cable from the bracket.

Swing the cable out away from the panel.

Lift the metal ball at the end of the cable out of its socket.

The OEM door speaker is located at the bottom inner corner of the door panel.

Press in the release tab on the speaker's white plastic power connector and slide the plug straight out of its socket.

Pull the OEM speaker out of the door frame.

The OEM door speakers can be replaced with aftermarket speakers in the following sizes: 5 1/4" (5.25") and 6 1/2" (6.5").

I'd recommend buying new speakers from Crutchfield since they usually include any necessary wiring harnesses, electrical connector adapters or mounting brackets.

To make your new speakers sound better, I suggest applying some Dynamat Sound Deadener to the metal door frame around the speaker to help stop unwanted vibrations or rattles when you crank up the volume.

Re-insert the metal ball at the end of the door opener handle cable in to its socket.

Pop the black plastic collar near the end of the cable in to the bracket.

Pop the black plastic collar near the end of the cable in to the "C" shaped socket in the bracket.

Pull the wiring harness for the switch panel out of the opening in the armrest.

Pull the wire harness for the courtesy step light out of the opening in the bottom of the panel.

Push the power plug in to the socket on the courtesy step light housing.

Line up the plastic pop rivets on the back of the door panel.

Firmly tap in the pop rivet fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Replace the Phillips head screw at the top of the door pull handle by turning it clockwise.

Replace the Phillips head screw behind the door opener handle by turning it clockwise.

Pop the switch panel down in to place over the arm rest.

Gently tap the door pull handle trim cover back in to place to secure the retaining clips.

Sit inside the vehicle and close the door panel.

Verify that the door opener handle, door lock rocker switch, power window switch and power door lock switch all still work properly.
