Hi,

I need to replace the front speakers in my 2002 Sequoia and have had
no luck finding instructions on how to remove the front door panels. I
have all the info needed on speakers, just need some help getting the
panels off, without breaking anything !!

Really appreciate any help.

Thx

I don't mean to dodge the question, but what is the approximate temperature
in the place where you'll be working on this?

I'm in South Florida. Right now 72 degrees outside and cloudy.
Otherwise probably around 75/80 if it is sunny. I can be in the garage
if I have to, otherwise just on the driveway outside.

Thx

OK. I asked because the outer edges of the door panel are held on by round
plastic snaps like the ones at this link. When it's cold, they can crack. If
your luck's really bad, all of them will crack.

For the rest of the job, check out these sites. Toyota's attachment methods
haven't changed much over the years, since they work well:

If you have manual windows, pay particular attention to the instructions
here. The cranks are held on by clips which are capable of flying almost 100
feet, and then vanishing completely.
