Read Door Panel Removal

Hi. I need to remove a rear door panel to change out a blown speaker. I have easilly removed the front door panel with the help of the illustrations I found here. I could not find any for the "rear" door however. I was wondering if anyone can suply them OR if you can tell me in words where the clips/screws are. I think if it is similar to the front I could figure it out but IF there is some trick or something to be cautious of in the rear (like the ash tray light or similar thing) I would be greatful if you can share your knowledge. Many thanks, Stephen

Hi Stephen. Removing rear door panel is almost the same as the front. Three screws are on the bottom of the door under rubber molding (just like front) one under door handle molding (just like front), one under window switch panel (just like front) and one under a closing/pulling when you want to close the door handle (just like the front. Also if your car is a UL you need to remove sunshades for small back windows, otherwise you will not be able to take the panel off. To do that just pull on them hard, they are on metal clips.

Also be sure to pry up only on the rear edge of the window switch/ashtray assembly as the front edge is hooked. Be sure to get your pry tool under the grey plastic and do not try to pry only on the wood plate. It took a lot of force but it popped free without damage.
