Rep Power: 0 Removing door panels?
I need some help...
I've read everything I can find on installing component speakers and I've read the DIY on door panel removal.
I just tried to remove my drivers side panel and everything came loose as the DIY said
except the section just below the tweeter pod wouldn't budge.
The tweeter pod section came loose okay.came loose
I tugged, lifted, and pulled but with no luck. what is holding on in there?
Is it another little white plastic connector? A screw?
Having never done this before can be intimidating.
I'm afraid of breaking something.
The speakers I have to mount are Infinty Kappa 50.3cs.
any wiring tips?
Thanks

Rep Power: 0 Once you get all of the screws out, by the door open latch, and the door arm rest, the only thing holding the door panel in are the white plastic clips. There is one below the tweeter pod, and one to the right of where the door opening handle panel was. Once you pry this out the door panel should be able to swing outward from the bottom of the window sill. Pull on it and it will pop out, then lift upward when you pull the panel out, it helps with the window lowered. Hope this helps.

Rep Power: 294 how about disconnecting the power windows when taking off the door panel? I took my panel off completely, except for the connection to the power windows. I coudn't get that piece to pull out of the socket. any help?

Rep Power: 305 Even when you press the release tab it's still in there pretty good. Just press down the tab and give it a good tug. Or you could use a flathead screwdriver and pry it out.

Rep Power: 0 It is rough getting the plug out. Honda did a great job to make sure that people couldn't pull it out. I was able to do it like 2x (ran into problems and had to pull it back off). The other couple times I just had someone hold the door panel if they couldn't get it out themselves.
