How do you remove the front door panels to replace the front speakers of a 1993 Nissan Altima?

Answer 1

There are 5 or 6 bolts you need to remove; there are three along the bottom of the door, one in the little pocket where you usually pull the door closed and one underneath the window controls, as well as one underneath the armrest. To remove the master window control and the door lock mechanism, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry them out (they are just clipped in, but be careful) and disconnect the wires underneath these control boxes (also just clipped in). There is also a bolt behind a plastic cover underneath the armrest on the door, and the cover can be pried off with a flat-head screwdriver. once you remove the screws, lift the door panel up and the whole piece should come off as one. Once you have the panel off, you have direct access to the speaker and there are 4 bolts around the speaker that will let you replace said speaker. When you put the whole thing back together, have patience putting the panel back on; you have to put the top of the door panel in where the window comes out of the door, and it should fit very snugly. Make sure the door panel is in the same position it was before you took it apart or the bolts won't line up and the whole thing will rattle. Put the bolts back in any order, but make sure that you put the one back in underneath the controls and the one underneath the armrest. There are three on the bottom of the inside of the door. Hope this helps.
