Alright guys, I need to install my new Audiobahn speakers and to do it I must remove my door panels.... now how do I do this? I know there is a screw behind the door handle, theres one close to the mirror.. and what else? I tried to take it off gently, but where are the clips and exactly what do I do...?! The more detailed explanation, the better... pics of where the screws are?! Thanks so much in adavance

 

BUMP, please help!

 

geee... i wish i can help.. but i drive a civic..i just pop the side cover off and there is my happy meal.

 

Side cover? Hmm might not be too different on a Teg since they are both Honda's..

 

There are exactly 3 places.

1. Pop off the cap and remove the screw inside the handle. You have to pull on the inner handle while pulling the inner handle trim. Then disconnect the power door lock connector.

2. Remove the screw inside the armerest pocket. Then just take out the armrest pocket.

3. Screw located below the side mirror.

Then pull on the bottom of the door panel first. The panel is held on by 5 clips on the bottom and 2 in the front and 3 in the rear.
Once all the clips are off, gently pull the panel upward. Then disconnect the power window connector, power mirror connector, and tweeter connector.

It should be noted that when installing the panels it should be done very carefully with lots of patience. You have to "hook" the top of the panel first where the wind shield dissappears. hahahaha can't think of a better way to explain. lol

You can tell if you f**ked up by looking at the other side door panel and it's fitment. HTH

 

Thanks Bro! I am gonna be doing that today! Much Appreciated..

Houw about the back ones?? How do I do the 2 back speakers?

Here is a picture with the position of the screws. Take a look to the point 4 when you install the cover again. It has to fit perfect.

To take off the cover off the back speaker you need just to pull it out with a screwdriver. To take off the whole sidecover you need to take off the whole back interior (at a type-r incl. the back stabilizer). It's no fun to make it, because you have to remove the back-seats, too.

If you do this and plan to install good speaker, its the right time to buy some damming material and fill out the big holes under the plastic to reduce rumble.

But it takes time, you can not do it in the lunch time.

Awesome pic for the help, ya point 4 was hella annoying when I took it off... what sucks is that my Audiobahn 3 ways do not fit in the front stock brackets, so I dunno what to do except pay for install.... I got the panel off and all, but then had this problem. What to do?!?!

 

There's no need to take off #4.

 

Time to cut stock brackets, well the back of em......

 

Not take off, but have a look at while install board again.

 

Doh!
