I've got a 1999 Corvette coming in tomorrow for in-dash dvd/navigation, bluetooth, and replacing the front speakers. I haven't been able to find any disassembly instructions for the front door speakers. Anybody got any tips?

....start by removing the press in keepers in the bottom of the door panel(round, interior color)there are 5 of these along the very bottom of the door panel. next remove the 2 Phillips screws from the interior door pull handle, the one you use to close the door(look straight down into it) then remove the one Phillips screw from behind the interior door release handle. carefully with a 90 degree pick, pull straight out on the manual door lock knob, it will pry off, then slip that piece forward and off so the door panel will clear the lock rod, the mirror/window switches simply pry out of the panel, I just worked my release handle and switches back through the holes in the door panel when removing my panel, slightly tug the door panel up and towards you, it should come right off, good luck and be careful....

Step 1. Remove the door handle bezle. There are two clips on the top and two on the bottom of the bezel.

step 2. Remove the cover on the arm rest pocket. Just use a small flat head screw driver to pry if off.

step 3. Remove The two phillips screws under the cover that was removed from step 2.

step 4. Remove the door panel by prying on the fastners around the panel. There are two near the speaker...1 under near the middle. and two more on the front side.

step 4. after you have freed it from the retainers/clips simply lift it upwards because its held by the window trim as well.

step 5. disconnect the harness to the switch.

make sure you put those retainers on the door panel back on the door panel in case some got stuck on the door.
I'll get some illustrations if you need it. But not till tomorrow...i'm going home for the day.
