I'm very interested on this post. If anyone had removed their inside door panels would they please share. I want to replace my speaker on the driver side. Please advice!

Thanks

It is really easy. There is a nice post with pic on removing the door panel of the SC300. Do a search on replacement speakers. Just pop up the window control switch and remove the screw underneath. Pop off the small panel under the door lever and remove that screw. Next remove the three screws along the bottom rim and the two near the latch. Lastly remove the two plastic rivet type fastners near the hinge side of the panel. Should now be able to lift the lower panel and pop the interior rivit clips on the inside near the hinge. Tilt the panel up from the bottom and lift up and away from the tweeter. You will need to unclip the door light connector and then just rest the panel on the floor to access the speakers. It really is very easy and can be done in less than 15 minutes.
