Hello, I am new here and first off would like to introduce myself, I'm Geoffy0404 :), and I have been having a bit of trouble figuring something out, i'm guessing is probably quite easy.
I have searched this forum and have not found what I am looking for.


So the title pretty much says it all, how does the side door panel come off , my goals are replacing the stock speakers with SPS-600 Alpine speakers, (I'm hoping that they will fit).

If anyone knows anything about that please don't be afraid to shout out, or give a link that I may have missed for this problem. thanks!

You'll have to pop the door handle cover off, then remove the door handle cover, remove a screw there and the entire interior side door panel lifts up and out.

I reread my instructions and it is obviously not very clear.

Lemme try again.

Look armrest area, where the hands would be if you were closing the door. Use a flathead screw driver and gently lift that part out. There will be a screw, or multiple screws. Unscrew that. Then you can gently remove the top trim of the armrest - disconnect the electrical switches, then you can remove the entire panel.

According to the Crutchfield website, the SPS-600 Alpine speakers will fit in both front and rear door. They've got them for 149.95. I've always bought my replacement equipment from them. Installation instructions are included with radio purchase - including how to remove the panels.
