Removing Door Panels - Hatchback?

[bigsky2]

Anyone here have workbook instructions or can instruct me on how to remove the door panels on the liftback/hatchback?

TIA :respekt:

[hasher22]

Easy, i was about to make one....but i couldnt be fucked......lol.....

Well this is a simple version of it. If you know a little bit about cars then this simple tutorial will be NP..


>Pull out the 3 grey long strips on the door

>If you have power windows, on the DRIVERS side the switches for the power windows will have 3 screws that will be attached to the grey plastic thing. Take them out

>So the 3 grey plastic things should all be deattached.

>Next there will be 3 black screws attached to the door panel.....take them out, one is in the middle and i forgot where the others are. But there are 3!

>time to pull it off! Pull the bottom part of the panel, and it will pop out. (Only the bottom half will pop out)

>Next is to PULL UP the door panel and the whole thing should come out.


Hope that helps

Because I don't want to start a new thread, what has to be done to change the front speakers?

Umm

THE PROPER WAY

>take out the wire plug thats connected to the stocked one...

>Get a DRILL and DRILL OUT the rivets that is rivetted on....(the silver things) theres 3

>get the "SAT6" bracket/spacer and attach ur 6.5" speaker onto it

>attach the wires to the new speakers to the wires onto the door. Negative with Negative and Positive with Positive.

>Time to screw the new speakers on, u can either screw it on or rivet gun it.




THE LAZY WAY

>take out plug which is connected to the stocked speakers

>LEAVE THE STOCKED BRACKET/SPACER in the door BUT RIP OUT the speaker (the middle part dont damage the stocked spacer)

>mount your new speakers on the spacer on the door, connect the wires, and screw in your speakers with screws to the stocked spacer.

Τhanks mate for the answer!

Always there for any questions!

[hasher22]

U know what, u should do it the lazy way....i did it the lazy way and i have no probs!!!

[Katana]

The difficult way isn't more safe for damages?

[hasher22]

haha i believe that both ways are the same....its just changing the spacer. the lazy way is just a really really cleaner and quicker way of doing it. I have dont it and i had no problems with it. Still going strong.

[Katana]

Ok thanks man!

[bigsky2]

Thanks hasher!

Will post pics of my install when the time comes to give the visuals for the above instructions.

[hasher22]

[bigsky2]

[Katana]

Come on, we need one of your great tutorials!

What about the rear speakers, 5.25 speakers, right? do you need different spacers or will the SAT6's work back there too?

[hasher22]

Katana...i seriously cant be bothered...lol

paul i was able to install the rear speakers......but they arnt install prop. I really dont know if the "sat6's" will fit in the rear...

Does anyone know if the sat6's will fit in the rear guys???

[YARmatey31]

This might be a dumb/lazy question...but here goes...

which wire is positive and which one is negative. Is it in the manual or where/how did you find out? Thanks

[mario98c]

I can't get my hatch panel off to install an actuator. Does anyone know if there's a screw somewhere in it that I'm missing?? Thanks!

I found the answer to my own question. Inside the indent/handle on the panel there is a piece of plastic with a flathead groove in it. This slides up towards the car. The rest is just stand offs that are extremely tight. I ran a pry bar inside the plastic until I hit one so I knew exactly where to pry. There's one at the very top of the panel by the middle brake light. I didn't want to break my window so I left this one until last and then slid the panel off of it.

On a side note, to save anyone else the trouble I went through, here's a tip on getting the manual window handle assembly off. use TWO flat heads, one on either side of the handle. Place both in between the plastic ring and handle, and the handle will pop right off.

I may be the only one out there that's had this problem, but it was a pain in the neck getting it off until I tried two flat heads.

Any help with the tweeters would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

im concern about drill out the rivet and just put screw in the hole. is someone think about tap and put real bolt. im worried about creating rust form those hole. maybe put some penetrox kind of metallic anti-size grease. Or put galvanise paint

Lol, I did research for weeks on speaker sizes on the Yaris and found multiple sites that said 6.5" front and 6x9" in the back for hatchbacks. Said sources did not specify that goes for the 5dr hatches I'm assuming because I had to do some custom work and grind some of the metal out of my B-pillar speaker mount to fit the 6x9's basket. After about 3 hours of custom fitting both sides, I got them in and panels fit flush. Very happy with my set-up. Went with Atoto A6 stereo through 6.5" 45w-rms and the 65w-rms 6x9's (Rockford Fosgate Primes set for $80USD via Amazon) and a 100w 8" Rockville underseat sub. Only thing I'm missing now is a 4-channel amplifier. Any suggestions? Looking for around 220w-rms..
