== Door Trim Removal / Speaker Upgrade ==
(Credit to @ybot for some photos)
- Remove the door handle by removing the small screw holding it to the door, then detatch it from the connecting arm by lifting the rod up to unclip it. While youre here you might aswell remove the little light in the corner (already done in the photo) with its two screws.
- Remove the trim surrounding the door lock, being careful not to mark the surrounding vinyl. Next to the mirror is a black plastic triangle, pull on it gently to remove it aswell (it makes removing and reinstalling the door card easier imo).
- If you have manual windows, remove the 2 screws holding the armrest in. If you have electric windows, remove the 3 armrest screws.
- There are several large plastic clips that keep the door card in place. They won’t need as much force as the door lock clip but will pop out nicely. Be careful not to break any clips or the door card as it may be a trip to the wreckers. If you have electric windows remember to disconnect the switches before pulling the door card away!! Best trick ive found is to bring the card out on an angle with the window wound all the way down.
Your door card is now removed. While you’re here you might as well replace the possibly 30 year old speaker with something a bit more modern. They are 4" and i went with a pair of Kicker CSC4 speakers, suprising amount of bass for such a small speaker.
To do that all you need to do is unplug the existing speaker and take out the 3 screws holding the speaker sheetmetal in place, then the 4 screws holding in the speaker. The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
To re-install the door card, just follow the steps in reverse, just make sure your door handle connecting rod is in a easy acessable spot.
