Door cards

DBcoup

Ok now i know im stupid but ive been reading a few post on ICE, so now i wanna upgrade my speakers in the front. BUT how does the cards come off? I mean i found the bottom 3 screws but where are the others? are they hidden?

Can someone hold my hand and tell me the best way to remove them?

If its Vectra B, remove the rubber insert on the door handle and there's a screw in there, pop out the tweeter grille (gently) and there's a screw in there too and remove the triangular trim piece from the door frame and you'll find another screw on the top edge of the door card.

Hope this helps.

aahhhrr right we can help
color code to help(yellow did not show up to well on gery background so changed to brown lol)

GREEN = pop studs 3of holding tweeter pod (no need to remove for just the door card)
RED = the screws
YELLOW = top of card there is a rubber trim pushed in prize out from lock button end and lift out (hard work)
YELLOW = door handle has a cover on that can be removed from bottom and uncliping as you go up(think there is a screw in the handle hole to
BLUE = pop studs holding the door card to door a blunt plastic ruler type thing will work so not to damage your door card (or just pull)

Thank you very much Carl, ill give it ago 1 night this week (weather permiting). Just 1 quick question; is it worth changin the tweeters?

NP 🙂
well the standard vx tweeters are ok but if you put to much power thru them it will make them sound poo,if you get some components then they will have new tweets with them if so change them but if you go for coaxial then i'd say leave them and leave them wired in that way you don't lose your sound phase,
I changed my tweeters 1, cause they came with the components i bought 2, cause the 5.1 amp i bought when it was new came turned all the way up as standard and blew all the speakers so had to change the lot lol
