Anybody w/tips on removing door panels?
So, I"m ready to replace the speakers in the front & rear doors of my 2005 Mazda 3S 4-door. Anybody have some tips about removing the door panels? I already found the 2 hidden screws, but the door panels didn't seem ready to just "pop off". Pics would help, but I will take any friendly advice.
thx,
thx,
