hi guys i am told that for best results i need to take the inner panel off, but its easy to smash the glass doing this.

any tips for removing it? does it come off clean or are there bits that hang around connecting it to the outer door?

better to do glass up or down?

ta!

ps. when i drill (?) the speakers out, whats best to fix them back in with, nut & bolt & washers?

Bolts around the edges, undo these, and you need to disconnect the window motor, which is just above the speaker. Unclip all the wires too.

I did it with 2 people, so yeah, is probably a wise idea.

did you have the window up or down?

i just fitted my jl comps into my 07 plate ibiza without takin out my inner door (i just used dynamat extreme to hold the bolts there for when i screwed into them... just use your imagination and u can get things done easy... oh and dont put the drill too close to the wires!!! need a new electric windows fuse now lol oops! (at least the windows were up!)

My window was already smashed

ok i cant get the panel off, do i need do remove the 3 silver torx screws from around the motor?

 

[RichieRich]

no idea i have never needed to take off the inner door panel but i have had to squeeze my hand behind it the first time i ever installed my own speakers but i have more sence and experience now

 

[Phil_beeza]

im considering just using some spray on dynamat for that particular space, and leaving the insides intact

 

[RichieRich]

spray on? get the sticky black and silver stuff.. lol

 

[Phil_beeza]

spray on means i wont have to remove the inner panel

[RichieRich]

hi bobby yes mate rear aswell door cards come off vertually the same to.. if u get some sound proofing and either stick the clips that the crews go into behind the screw holes its really easy but if ur useing wood ones its even easier or u could cut the flared metal to use the clips correctly to choice is yours
