Car Stereos: 02 Sierra regular cab interior side panel removal, gmc sierra, no screws


Question
How do I remove the interior side panels on my 02' GMC Sierra, I'm replacing the speakers.

Answer
Hi Bill,

In your truck, the panels should just pull off.  There are no screws holding them in place, just clips.  The first thing you'll need to do is to remove the sill panels, running along the bottom of the door opening on each side. Next, pull off the wide panel that runs across the rear of the cab under the window; if I recall correctly, you'll want to pry out the bottom of the panel first, then lift upwards to release the top clips.  Finally, you should be able to pull off the side panels to access the speakers.  

Be careful!  It's easy to break the plastic when trying to release the panel clips.  If the panel seems to be flexing too much, try to find a different point, closer to the clip location, to exert pressure when pulling the panel off.

Good luck!
