How do you remove the front door panels on my 05 QC to install speakers?

You take out a couple screws along the bottom of the door panel, one screw up by the pillar and on big one in the middle of the door. The next step is to remove the bolt that holds the door handle on(cant remember the size). Once they are out lift upward on the door panel and it should release the hooks up by the window. Disconnect the power accessories(if equipped) and your done

 

it sounds harder than it is trust me it takes all of 30 secs. you'll need a torx for the door handle, again not too sure what size and a philips for the screws. once all the 4 screws and door handle torx is removed simple pull up on the panel about 1-2 inches and gently pull away, and removed power window / door lock cable (the drivers side has two) connectors. The manual door lock also has to cmoe through but its more of a pain on the reinstall of the panel. I usually lock the door before removing the panel make it a little easier.

 

Must have changed the door pull bolt. Mine was a 10mm socket.

I think mine was both. It has a torx inside but is a 10mm on the hex part. So both would work, I think??
