Hey Chrysler Tech. I just noticed that the Speaker Grill on the door looks like it's molded onto the panel. Does it come seperate? I know you said Disengage the Speaker Grill clips but I can't seem to locate them. Any tips on how I would go about taking it off?

Hey Chrysler Tech. I looked very carefully at my Door panel. Here is what I don't get.
"Disengage two clips attaching speaker grille to door trim panel. They are at the front of the grille, one near the top, and the other one at the bottom.
Remove three large washer-headed screws surrounding the speaker (Lower Door Trim Panel Removal)."
The Speaker Grill Does not come off nor does it looks like it can come off.. I didnt see any signs of these clips you talk about. I also don't have some things you mention liek the reflector and such. I have a 06 Sebring Sedan if that matters.

Like I don't even know where to start besides the roll down the glass window :) You say disengage the clips on the speaker grill but I cannot find any clips what so ever. Are the 3 washer screws the ones at the bottom of the door? Sorry dude but i'm really confused right now :)

HELP me Chrysler Tech! :)
It sounds like its a complete door panel removal. Most chryslers dont have speaker grilles anymore we can make more money selling a complete door panel :) j/k i feel bad tellin people that though. i think he is saying the screws are located near the grille not for the grille i cannot check for sure my login with dcx is down for an update right now.

ok there are 2 screw covers 1 in the door handle.and 1 in the door grip 2 screws on lower half of the door panel. Take them all out then with a trim stick or screw driver pry the clips and remove the door panel then u can get access to the speaker.

They are just clips? I don't want to pry and break something off. I'll try it on Friday. Thanks Chrysler tech!

Meh. I Tried again today. Don't feel like breaking anything. I'm gonna take it to Circuit City and let them do it for the $40.00 they charge.
