I am look to upgrade the sound system of my ES,

How do I take off the door panel?

I noticed that there are 1 metal screw on the front, there are 2 plastic screw on the back of the panel, and one metal screw under/behind the door switches.

are there any more?

what is the tool to take off the plastic screw, them seem like very sticky(strong) and hard to take off.

Please help.

It's very similar to Toyota Camry and pretty straightforward.

1. Remove the screw behind/under the switches

2. Remove the screw in the front.

3. Pop up the plastic screw on the edge of the door. Then remove the inserts.

4. Pry the panel along the lower edge. A prybar or a wide blade screwdriver works well. ba careful with the paint.

5. Pull the panel, reach behind it and disconnect the comnnector.

6. Lift and remove the panel.


Chilton manual for 92-96 Camry has more details. I got one; it helps.
