i don't know how dumb of a question this is, but how do i install new speakers in my doors?? what i am after is how to get the interior door cover off. or do i need to do that even. the little screen at the bottom might come off i guess.

Remove the window handle, remove the door handle. Should be 1 screw in the finger pocket of the door pull thingy. You may have to remove the door lock knob. Use a long straight screwdriver, or a flat bar. Put the bar in the bottom corner of the door cover, and pull out gently. You can hear the clips pop as they come out. Pull gently on the corner, and work your way along the bottom, then up the sides of the panel. When it's free, grab at the front and back, and lift up. It should be stuck a little at the top, along the window, but should pop right off.
All done!

If you have power windows and stuff it will be more wires, and no handle.

There are also 2 screws on the bottom in the rug area.

Not on mine, no rug area. You LE owners suck! Power windows, cruise, AC. Really suck!!!

yah, mine has all the goodies. so there is a rug area. so is there more information for the spoiled rug folk. i know that it isn't open to view, cuz i have tried to dissect it before.

My post pretty well covers it, unplug the wires, plus Richies screws.
The speakers I had in mine were screwed to the door. I don't know if that how they are supposed to be, or fastened to the panel.

where are those two screws??? i think my rug is over the top of them!

1 screw on each end. Thats all I remember. I found them easy on both my 89's as well as my 93. The rug is kinda combed over them but not totally hidden. Should be philips.

what do i do with the screen covering the speaker?? i pulled the 4 screws around the speaker, and now there is a screen in front of it.

i don't know if it useful, so maybe i'll just jerk it out.
