Door Card Removal - Am I Missing Something?

[Azza]

Hi all,

I have an annoying loose connection on my drivers side front speaker on my Altezza. I tried to remove the door card the other day to have a look at it but I got so far and had to stop

as I didn't want to break anything. I removed the two screws (one inside the door handle and the other inside the grab handle) pulled all the poppers around the edge of the door card, but couldn't seem to get the door card off around the door handle, I didn't want to force it.

I'm sure it's really simple, and it's annoying as I've removed loads of different door panels on previous cars, but this one doesn't seem to want to shift.

Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers,

Arron

I DID IT ONCE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE NEARLY THERE ! - maybe try removing the tweeter cover from the top of door panel first then panel should just wiggle up and free i think

here are all the photo's

and there are places at the bottom of the card were you can get a hold of it and pull

That's great guys, cheers for that! The only bit I had trouble with was the door handle is, I couldn't see to free off the trim around it, - in the picture where the guy is prizing the door handle trim away from the door card itself.

Does the tweeter housing have to come off as well then? It seemed like the door card could of been moved off around that.
