Nissan Repair: 2002 Nissan Maxima, nissan maxima, window sill


Question
I need to know the best and safest way to remove my door panel to replace my blown door speakers and if possible the size of speakers in the door. The model is SE and does not have BOSE  

Answer
Jeremy,

To remove the door panel you will need to pop the cup where the door handle is.  This is the part you pull to open the door.  Next, pull the plug on the handle pull and remove that screw.  Get a door panel removal tool.  This looks like a really flat tool that has a slot down the middle to get on each side of the clips.  Start at the bottom and work your way up.  Once everything is loose lift the door panel up and off the window sill.  Also, disconnect the wires to the switches and remove the master control panel.  Check Crutchfield.com or another stereo site and they will list what fits your car.  Also, they have some pretty good photographs of door panel removal and such.
