Does anybody know how to take off the door panels off a 133? mine is being so stubborn.. i bought some upgraded door speakers + tweeters and a new sony HU would like to install them myself to save a few bob as im a student! i got as far as taking the door handle off and the electric window switches off as well as all the torque heads around the panel but still cant get it off. :( i dont wana just rip it off because i dont want to have to replace all the clips and god knows what else!

any ideas would be great!? :D

Many thanks!! :)
 
Gotta shoot out so here's a quick summary...

Torq bolts along the bottom of the door card (4 of them maybe?), one behind the interior handle, one in the interior grab handle (hidden under a black cap), pull off the trim at the corner of the window (pull straight towards you), pull the bottom of the door card away from the door (it's stuck on with horrible black goop) then once that's away you can slide it up to release the top section which hooks on.

Think that's it!

To give you a rough idea though :

1 - Small screwdriver, wrapped in masking tape to gently lever the cover over the mirror wires. Once you can get it moving it'll just pop off. Held in with three prongs but no clips.

2 - Undo the torx screws along the edge of the door card. One at the back, three underneath.

3 - Undo the torx screws under the covers in the handle and door release.

4 - Pull the door card up gently up and out slightly holding the door pocket. The door card should then pop off, it has a lip thats' slightly hooked over at the top and a number of clips that hold it.

5 - I chose not to disconnect the switches/release cable but unclipped the door release cable so I could turn the door card out of the way of the speaker. Put a blanket down on the ground so the door card was effectively still attached but not scraping against the floor.

6 - The OEM speakers are fitted into a bracket that holds them slightly proud of the door so the window cant go down behind. So I recommend keeping that in place.

7 - The Alpine speakers I fitted had four brackets for fitting but the adapter ring only has two. So gently bent the two I didn't need off with some pliers. They come off the speakers neatly.

8 - Bit of gentle persuation and the Alpine speakers fit onto the OEM bracket and screw down fine with the OEM screws.

9 - With regard to wiring, you need to snip the OEM speaker connections off, I crimped two female spade connectors which fitted the new speakers perfectly.

10 - Put it all back together in reverse order. The door cards will go back in place as if you've never removed them.


Hope that helps. :)
