Has anyone posted the best method to remove the door panels to replace front speakers? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dustin

The door panelss are secured to the door frames with four torx screws and a series of clips.

To remove each one, use the following tools and instructions:

-Small and large flat-head screwdriver [wrap the head of the larger one with insulating tape to protect against damage while prying]
-T30 Torx screwdriver

Remove the tweeter-door-handle surround:

Using the small flat-head screwdriver, pry off the surround by "attacking" it where the two "circles" join.
