Here are the items you'll need for this repair: Phillips screwdriver, flat head screwdriver, pick tool

Remove the two Phillips head screws inside of the armrest on the door. Do this with a Phillips head screwdriver. To remove the bezel around the interior door handle, need to kind of get in there with a trim tool or a flat-blade screwdriver and push down on the tab to release it. There are three. One at the top, one at the bottom, and one on the side. Remove the extension at the top of the door panel by prying out with a trim tool. Using your trim tool, pry up at the back of the power window switch. Lift it up and pull back to release the hook at the front. Disconnect the connector for your tweeter. Pop up the tab on this two-pin connector at the front of the window switch and pop the connector out and then push down on the tab, the main connector, and remove that from the switch. I'm using a pick here. You could also use a small flat-blade screwdriver or a trim tool if you had to. Really whatever works best for you.

Using a trim tool, pop out on the door reflector and remove the connector. This is another one of the ones we'll have to lift up on the tab with a pick. Using a trim tool, pry out the bottom of the door. You may need to work it a little bit to figure out where the tabs are. You'll also need to pop out this pin at the top on the front of the door. Once all the tabs are out, lift the panel up, and remove it from the door.

You don't need to remove the interior accessory panel entirely in order to remove your speaker, but we've taken it out to make it easier to show you the clips and how they work.

Using the small flat blade screwdriver, you can pry this tab here and flip the speaker up and out of the panel. Unplug the door speaker, bring it up completely, and lift it out of the panel.

Reinstall the hooks and lay the speaker back down into the panel, then snap it into place. Pull your wire harness back through the door and lay the top edge into the doorframe. Line up the plastic retainers and push them all back into place. Reinstall the inner door handle bezel by lining it up and snapping it in. Reinstall your reflector. Place the upper door extension into place. Reinstall the two Phillips head screws in the armrest. Reconnect your door speaker as well as the two electrical connections on the power window switch. Slide the front hook into the door panel. Snap the back into place and you're good to go.
