I always just pulled the whole panel off, it's not that difficult.

Door panel... you can't remove the speaker grill from the front. It's quite easy, just remove all the screws and plastic trim, rest of it is held on by plastic clips, so be gentle!

its easy.

1. roll down the window

2. there are 2 screws (3 on passenger door), all phillips. one is towards the front of the door where it bulges out. use a flathead or some other small tool to pop off the plastic covering (its okay if it breaks you can still snap it back on). voila, screw #1. pop out the cover in the bottom of the little pocket area where the window controls are (if you have power windows). theres screw #2. on the passenger door there's a 3rd screw, its in the oh-sh*t handle. wiggle and rotate the handle until it comes off.

3. the 2 pieces of plastic you have to pry off are around the door lock area (pull the door opener lever out and hold it and itll be easy to pry off), and the same plastic pocket on the armrest. this thing is kind of a biatch. pull it and yank it until it comes out, itll hang by a harness. you can leave it there or disconnect the harness, wahtever.

4. start pulling around the edges of the door panel, you should hear popping as the plastic clips disengage.

5. pull the door UP and off (it hooks over into the top of the door so you cant pull it straight off)

takes 5-10 minutes max. tools needed: 2 phillips heads screwdrivers, one small and one big (a flat-head also helps).
