The tools needed to take off the door panel include a small flathead screwdriver, a plastic automotive panel removal tool or a large flathead screwdriver, a Torx T20 and a Torx T25 star bit screwdrivers.

The OEM door speaker is held in place by Torx T-25 screws.

Pry out the round plastic screw cover behind the door opener handle by using a small flathead screwdriver.

Set the plastic cover aside in a safe place.

Gently pry out the bottom edge of the "L" shaped trim panel that covers the door pull handle with a plastic automotive panel removal tool or a flathead screwdriver.

Continue carefully pulling off the trim cover to release the clips.

Set the door pull handle trim panel aside in a safe place.

Pry out the plastic screw covers with a small flathead screwdriver.

Then move to the top of the door pull handle and remove the Torx T25 screw by turning it counterclockwise.

Set the two door pull handle screws aside in a safe place.

Set the door opener handle screw aside with the other screws.

At this point, you should have removed the plastic door pull handle trim cover, one round screw cover and 5 screws.

Firmly pull out the bottom edge to disengage the plastic pop rivet friction fasteners.

Continue popping out the fasteners all along the bottom edge and both sides of the door panel.

Tilt the top edge of the door panel towards yourself while supporting the bottom with your thighs.

Press in the release tab on the small black plastic tweeter speaker electrical connector and slide the plug straight out of its socket.

Set the plastic door panel aside in a safe place.

Press in the release tab on the white plastic electrical connector before sliding the plug straight out of its socket.

Remove the three Torx T-25 star bit screws holding the speaker in place by turning them counterclockwise.

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

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

To help reduce road noise and allow your new speakers to sound better, apply some Dynamat Sound Deadener to the metal door frame. It will stop vibrations and rattles when you crank up the volume.

To replace the door panel, hold it near the frame and tilt the top edge towards yourself while supporting the bottom with your legs.

Push the electrical connector for the switch panel straight in to its socket.

Push in the small black plastic power plug for the tweeter speaker.

Lower the top of the door panel on to the upper lip of the metal door frame.

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

Replace the large screw at the bottom of the door pull handle by turning it clockwise with the Torx T25 screwdriver.

Re-insert the smaller screw behind the door opener handle and tighten it in the clockwise direction with the Torx T20 screwdriver.

Pop in the round plastic screw covers.

Sit inside the vehicle, close the door and verify that the door opener handle, power door lock switch and power window switch all still work properly.
