Step 2: Factory Speaker Removal
• With the door handle
held in the “open-the-
door” position, gently
insert a small flat head
screwdriver behind the
blank plastic insert and
apply enough prying force
to loosen.
• With the door handle
still in the “open-the-door”
position, insert the small
flat head screwdriver
into the front of the now
loosened blank plastic
insert and pry it out.
• Using a #2 Phillips
head screwdriver,
unscrew the screw from
behind the blank plastic
insert that you just
removed.
• Gently insert your small
flat head screwdriver
upwards into the base
of the plastic cap at the
top of the main door grab
handle. Apply upward
pressure until the plastic
cap comes off into your
hands. Be ready to catch
these because they have
been known to take flight.

Step 2: Factory Speaker Removal
• Remove the screw at
the top of the grab handle
with your #2 Phillips head
screwdriver.
• Locate the screw inside
the doors cup holder and
remove with your #2 Phillips
head screwdriver.
• Using your hands, start at the bottom of the door panel and pull outward
to release the snaps from the back side of the panel. These snaps will
make a “pop” sound as they release one by one. Once all 8 snaps have
been released, the door panel can be lifted and pulled away from the door.
Push the door panel upwards to remove from the door. (These clips can
break, we have included a few replacements just in case. Also they sometimes get left in the door instead of sticking to the panel, if this happens pry
them off the door and re-insert into the door panel)
