I have had to take off the interior door panel when swapping out my speakers on a few occasions. The car is a 2012 IS 250. The retaining clips that pop the door back into the frame just wouldnt go back in firmly and would just immediately pop back out. I purchased a new set of them from the dealership. Some of them pop into place but a few of them just wont stay secured. So this leads to ANNOYING vibrations and buzzing from the speakers.

It's the bottom clips that are giving me an issue. The clips that run along the door panel storage thing that opens out and has a spot for a cup/drink. I dont know what the hell it's actually called lol.

Is this a common thing? Does anyone know the actual part I need? Maybe the hole they are supposed to clip into has had some wear and tear over the last 10 years? I dont know... either way just looking for any info because I want these damn doors to stay locked in!

 

Part number for the clips you got?

The part number was 90467-09203

This is it on Amazon and it said it was a match for that part number.

That diagram looks like it shows the panel has multiple clips..

 

Maybe the panels does not sit flush and is jerking off the clips, just a thought. Good luck anyway.
