I have a door speaker rattling...How do I remove the driver's door panel to get to the speaker?

Thanks,

You dont have to take off the whole panel to get to the speaker

Look at one of the window motor replacement guides, like http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html

Yes you do, no way you are going to easily get the speaker out without removing the door panel. 3 long bolts on the arm rest, one bolt next to the door lever, unplug the harness behind the window, door lock buttons, and light, remove the manual door lock switch, remove the one screw from the triangular trim piece and remove, lift up on the door panel and then pull out. Its pretty easy.

NO! Do NOT try to pry the door speaker cover off - you'll break it and have to buy a replacement door panel.

the speaker grill are glued on so you risk damaging them by trying to remove them.
