hi, soon ill be taking my door cards off and replacing the speakers, i have gathered as much info from you guys as possible in previous posts but one bit im stuck on is where are the screws around the handle? which bit do you take off to get to them? and how? thanks in advance

If you mean the pull handle, you need to pop off the centre of it. If you mean the release lever, the screws are under the card and you need to set the lever to open when you pull off the card. Tis dead easy. Come exmouth tonight and i'll show you if you like.

As Andy says, there are 2 screws under the grab handle.

To get to these you need to pull the chrome handle as if you're opening the door, get a screwdriver in the gap and prize the centre of the grab handle out (is easier than I've just made it sound )

btw i mean the inside chrome pull handle (to open the door) i get what you both mean bout the prizing open but which way you prize open!? and wont that damage the chrome? thanks

you dont need to touch the chrome with the screw driver mate.

pull chrome handle as if door openning.hold there and place flat screw driver donw in slot where the chrome handle was.

prize the inset trim towards you (gentally) (sp) until it clips out. theres 2 big gold screws one in top and one in bottom.

oh i see now! there we go thanks guys. now knowing how and reading back on your comments, its really obvious! i must have been reading it backwards or something lol! well i got all my bits ready to go: head unit, components, wiring, amp and sub. just waiting for a nice sunny day to do them!

o btw my front speakers (new ones) are size (depth) 2-3/16 im not sure what that is measured in but will they fit into the door without interfeering with my window? this would be great help to me if anyone knew because if it wont i can go and buy a adapter now rather than later, saving a lot of time and stress. thanks
