As my wife dented the door going out of a parking spot, I wanted to try and fix the dent as much as I could. I used a window suction cup with pretty good results, but needed to remove the door trim to try and fix the bottom part as the suction cup would not stick there.
This is how I did it.

First, removed the triangular plastic above the trim, there are 2 clips, I broke the lower one. But it sits firmly in place though.

Removed the plastic cup in the door handle, screw out

Pulping the door up from the rear end, notice the clip

- Click Here -

Pull the bracket off the opening handle

- Click Here -

Remove the cover from the upper screw on the rear side

- Click Here -

Another screw on the bottom corner of the speaker

- Click Here -

Last screw upper part on the front

- Click Here -

There are 6 clips holding the trim in place, I used a big screw driver, carefully not to scratch the paint. broke 4 of the 6. trim sits firmly in place. no rattles.

Much better, but not perfect.

I was amazed by the poor quality of the speaker, really light and looks of poor quality. Anyone have the PN for the plastic clips of the door trim?
