Question
I need to replace speakers in the doors  of my car . Can you help me with the way to remove the door panels. thank you doug

Answer
Doug,
First thing you should do is get yourself a service manual for your car.  Both Haynes and Chiltons makes one for you car.  You can usually find them in your local auto parts store for about $10-$15.  They will give you illustrated step by step instructions on how to remove your door panels.  But the door panels are not that hard to remove.  There are typically a few screws holding the panel on around the edge of the panel (sometimes covered with small plastic caps) and usually at least one in the inner door handle.  There may also be one behind the small plastic piece near the side mirror.  You'll need to remove all the screws, then, the top of the panel is clipped on to the edge of the door where the window sits.  You'll just need to lift it off.  But a service manual may give more tips than I can provide.
Good luck!
