Owners of other Ford or Lincoln vehicles such as the Fiesta, B-Max, Escape, Edge, Bronco Sport, Explorer, Expedition, Transit, Focus, Mondeo, S-Max, Puma, Kuga, Endura, Everest, Ka, Figo, Endeavour, Aviator, Corsair, Nautilus and Navigator may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a plastic pry bar tool, a Torx T20 screwdriver and a small flat head screwdriver such as from a precision screwdriver set.

The first two steps are to lower the power window all the way down and fully open the door.

If you live in a very cold climate, I recommend either moving the SUV into a heated garage or wait for a warmer day to perform this procedure. Plastic becomes brittle in cold weather and can easily break.

The first piece we'll be removing is the long silver plastic trim cover that runs along the outer edge of the arm rest.

There is a plastic hook at the rear edge of the silver trim cover, so do NOT pry out the rear edge!

Insert the plastic pry bar tool in between the center of the silver plastic trim cover and the armrest.

Take your time and do not use excessive force. The retaining clips should pop out relatively easily

Do not pry near the rear edge of the trim cover. There is a plastic hook at the rear edge that might break off.

Set the silver trim cover aside in a safe place.

Move to the chrome silver colored door opener handle. Locate the plastic trim cover situated behind the door opener handle.

Avoid using excessive force. The trim cover should pop out relatively easily.

Set the trim piece aside in a safe place.

Remove the screw located behind the door opener handle by turning it in the counterclockwise direction with the Torx T-20 star bit screwdriver.

There are two long silver metal screws situated along the armrest.

Remove the two screws by turning them in the counterclockwise direction with the Torx T20 screwdriver.

Move to the bottom edge of the door panel and locate the two small black metal screws.

At this point, you should have removed the long silver plastic trim cover, a small black plastic trim piece, two long silver screws and three black screws.

Firmly pull out the bottom edge of the door panel to release the plastic pop rivets.

Continue releasing the pop rivet friction fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Carefully lift the plastic door panel up and off the upper lip of the metal door frame.

To release the door opener handle cable from the back side of the door panel, slide back the flexible clip on the rear edge.

There are several electrical connectors to detach including for the switch panel and the power door lock switch.

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

They can be replaced with aftermarket car speakers in the following sizes: 6 3/4" and 6 1/2".

Please verify the correct speaker sizes before buying new ones. They may vary depending on your vehicle's model year, trim level and country where it was manufactured.

The front door speaker is held in place by three black metal screws.

Loosen the screws by turning them in the counterclockwise direction with the Torx T-20 screwdriver.

Carefully pull the OEM speaker out of the door panel.

I highly recommend applying some sound deadening material such as Dynamat or Kilmat to the metal door frame to help stop vibrations or rattles from occurring when you crank up the volume.

All of the electrical connectors are different sizes, so you won't be able to mix them up.

Push the large green plastic electrical connector straight into the socket below the switch panel.

You should feel or hear them "click" securely into place.

To re-attach the black plastic bracket for the door opener handle, first lower in the front edge into the mount.

You should feel the bracket "click" securely into the mount.

Double check that the door opener handle cable is securely in place.

Carefully lower the top edge of the plastic door over the metal lip at the top of the door frame.

Line up the white plastic pop rivets on the back side of the door panel with their corresponding holes in the metal door frame.

Replace the two small black metal screws along the bottom edge of the door panel by turning them in the clockwise direction with the Torx T20 screwdriver until they are snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the screws to prevent from cracking the plastic door panel.

Replace the small black screw behind the door opener handle by turning it in the clockwise direction with the T20 screwdriver.

First, re-insert the plastic hook at the rear edge of the trim cover into the slot on the armrest.

Make sure the silver trim cover is flush with the armrest at every edge.

Push the plastic trim piece back into place behind the door opener handle.

Sit inside the SUV, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, power door lock switch, power window switch and speaker are all working properly.

Be sure to record the speaker upgrade or any other procedure in your vehicle's service records.
