Hmm thanx for link! Altho i dont think il be working off it, pix r too vague!!

[Chappers]

Only 2 screws to loose!

Speakers are riveted m8

[yarissr]

ok - took off the panel ! :D thanx ppl !!! just took off the 2 screws on left hand side and pulled off !

but i am stuck now on how to remove the standard Speakers as the 3 screws are just circular holes ?

i have taken a pic of this but i cannot host any pics ....

any ideas ?

[breezer]

the little circle screws probs jus pop out!!!

[yarissr]

i tried - doesn't budge ....

Like i said earlier, they are riveted on!

Small drill bit, 5mm or so, drill straight through them. This'll free the Speakers.

Good luck!

I have no Speakers in my door, coz mines a standard model, does this mean i wont have this problem!

the 3 screws r rivets ? i tried peek down them, found them to be crossed screws but each time i use a screw driver, i am worried i will chaff them to bits

so u reckon i should just drill right thru them and the Speakers will fall out ?

but how would i inistall the new Speakers when i ruined the screw holes ?

[Chappers]

With rivets there are no 'screw holes' with threads etc. Rivets pull two faces together, eg the flat of the speaker and the metal door panel.

[yarissr]

so just use a 5mm or smaller head bit and drill right thru them ?

i might just leave this to professionals since i am too worried i mash them in the end :(

[Chappers]

Yeah no probs. U will mash them cos that is how they must come off!

Because the door panel is soo thin, it cant have a tapped hole with a bolt going in, and because u havent got access to the rear of the panel, u cant have a nut and bolt. Yes?

Dont get skanked by 'professionals', d.i.y my friend

[yarissr]

if i do mash them, how will i fit the new Speakers in ??

i got some 16.5 Speakers for the door

I made some MDF adapters using the speaker housings i took out as a template , which is a triangle shape . then just make the hole for your new speaker with a jigsaw , fit the adapter to the door with self tapping skrews and then wire up your speakes and screw it onto the adapter , give it a wirl. I did it about 2 years ago ,so i may have missed a little detail.

[Moffmo]

yarissr - you would have to rivet the new ones in!

U need a celica speaker adaptor which is the triangular platic thing, and then u mount the Speakers to this and then rivet the hoder back onto the door.

Im sure once u deassemble it u'll realise what to do.

I dont have electric windows, so how do i take the winder handle off becoz its stopping me from removing the door panel
