i want to take out the oldspeakers and put two new ones into the front door..
i took out 3 screws which was all i can find but the door still wont budge and tips on how to get the door off
thanks andrew
Remove the screws in the air vent, door handle surround, and in the armrest section (there is a little plastic tab covering it).
Once done, pry the door from the bottom (in the recessed section) supporting the door from the top until the tabs pop.

Just pull around all the edges then it lifts out, there about 7 or so clips.. just put your hand in and feel.

I take it you also have manual wind down windows? If so you need to remove the handle before the taking the trim off.
Easiest way, get a strong cloth and wedge between trim and handle and manouver around till circlip pops out, then remove the handle.
Ahh yes! Window winders... Get a clotch against the door, push a flathead screw driver in between the seal and handle and you'll see a small clip - block it with the flathead screwdriver (turning it sideways helps) and turn. The clip will release and the window will just slide off.
..GONE..

About that clip "releasing" if it's a C-clip, I find these little suckers are normally spring loaded and like to fly around a cabin and land in the hardest to find place. So put a rag, hand, etc on the other side to catch them when you pop them off with that screwdriver.
