Owners of other Jeep, Dodge and RAM vehicles such as the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Renegade, Gladiator, Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, Charger, Challenger, Durango, RAM 1500, Promaster, 2500 and 3500 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a flat head screwdriver, a plastic pry bar tool, a 10mm socket, a 7mm socket, a 1/4" drive ratchet, a Phillips head screwdriver and a Torx T25 star bit screwdriver.

The first two steps are to lower the power window all the way down and fully open the door. For this guide, I'll be taking off the front passenger side door panel.

Use a flat head screwdriver to carefully pry out the rear edge of the plastic trim piece located behind the chrome silver door opener handle.

Set the trim cover aside in a safe place.

Move to the door pull handle in the center of the armrest.

Use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry out the rubber cover at the bottom of the storage well.

Move to the outside edge of the door panel.

Locate the two small rectangular shaped plastic screw covers.

Set the two screw caps aside with the other trim covers.

Set the silver bolt aside in a safe place.

Move to the middle of the armrest.

Remove the black metal screw in the center of the door pull handle well by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with a 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Move to the very bottom edge of the door panel and locate the small black metal screw situated near the center.

Loosen the screw by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Set the screw aside in a safe place.

Set the two screws aside with their corresponding plastic trim caps.

Move to the very top inner corner of the door panel near the side view mirror.

Use the plastic pry bar tool to gently pry off the triangular shaped "sail panel".

On some Jeep models, the sail panel will contain a tweeter speaker that needs to be disconnected.

Set the sail panel aside in a safe place.

Slide a large plastic pry bar tool in between the plastic door panel and the metal door frame.

Firmly but carefully, pull out the white plastic pop rivet friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

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

Their might be more electrical connectors on the front driver side door panel due to the additional switches.

The upper cable (located closer to the top of the door panel) operates the door lock rocker switch.

The lower cable is attached to the door opener handle.

Pull the black plastic collar near the end of the upper cable out of its bracket and swing it away from the door panel.

To release the lower cable, use needle nose pliers to squeeze together the two white plastic prongs and then push it out of the rear of the bracket.

Swing the cable out away from the door panel.

Set the plastic door panel aside in a safe place.

Use a pop rivet removal tool or a large flat head screwdriver to pry out the stuck pop rivets and reattach them to the appropriate location on the plastic door panel.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) front door speaker is located at the front bottom corner of the metal door frame.

The compatible replacement aftermarket speaker sizes include the following: 5 1/4" and 6 1/2".

If you are upgrading to more powerful speakers, I highly recommend applying some Dynamat sound deadener to the metal door frame and the back side of the plastic door panel.

The sound deadener will help prevent rattles and vibrations when you crank up the volume.

The power window motor is also held in place by Torx T25 screws.

To replace the door panel, hold it near the door frame and tilt the top edge towards yourself.

The power plugs should "click" securely into place.

Lower the metal cylinder into the socket, rotate the cable towards the door panel, and pop the white plastic collar into the hole to secure the two prongs.

Then lower the metal cylinder for the door lock rocker switch cable into its socket.

Swing the cable towards the door panel and pop the black plastic collar into the "C" shaped socket.

Push on the top of the door panel to secure the pop rivets.

Replace the small black metal screw at the bottom of the door panel by turning it in the clockwise direction with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Then pop in the two rectangular shaped plastic screw covers.

Lower the black rubber cover down into the bottom of the well in the door pull handle.

Line up the plastic trim cover and carefully pop it back into place behind the door opener handle.

(If your sail panel has a tweeter speaker, be sure to reconnect the electrical connector.

Push the sail panel back into place.

Sit inside the vehicle and make sure the door opener handle, door lock rocker switch, power window switch, power door lock switch and speaker are all still working properly.

Don't forget to write down the speaker change or any other maintenance procedure in your vehicle's service records.
