Default Need help- Door panel

I took off my passenger side door panel to check my speaker and of course it was so easy to get off but I can't get it back on. Any tips or tricks to get it on easier, I know door panels in general are tricky in all cars.

Thanks.

I never removed the door panel on my IS but I would assume that to put it back on, the tweeter may have to come/lose apart and put the door panel on from top down.

I removed and replaced all four door panels. I found some to go in easy on the first try, and others were a bytch. If you get frustrated, walk away for 5 mins, sometimes it works wonders.

You don't need to remove the tweeters. You need to 'hang' the panel on the top rail of the door first, putting the tweeter corner in first and working your way back. After it's hanging, you should be able to just push the rest into all of the tabs (start with the one behind the handle first, then all the surrounding ones). Make sure the door handle and lock are working properly before you hang it.

Is your tweeter blown or was it just background noise of your stereo being on? If your tweeter is blown I still have the old tweeter from my passenger front door panel that I replaced. PM me if you want.
