Door Speakers- REALLY PISSED

After installing my 6x9's i go up and attempt to do the door speakers. I read and read the how to over and over, and while trying to get to the screws i broke the clips . I'm really pissed that they are so hard to get to. And now i'm just going to bite the bullet and go have them installed for about 60 bucks. It sucks. I tried and tried, but only failed. If anyone has anything helpful and an alternative to this please let me know. Thanks guys.

The door panel off, The tabs that i was lifting up were braking. I wasn't lifting that hard, the damn things would not pop out. I got both of the door handle tabs that removes and shows one screw, and i got the driver's side arm one. But those 2 screws were insane and i could not unscrew them, i think i might have to use a drill. And then the passengers is still not coming up and seems like its going to break to. I really just don't want to pay 60 bucks for someone to do it when i could do it, but i broke the **** and don't want to **** anything else up even more ya know?

wow door panel removal is fairly simple, 3 screws and you pry it over the top edge then jus slide around the outer edge and pull out not up.

Or you can just remove the 3 screws, and the use a clip tool to release all the clips then pull up on the panel.

Grab it in the little compartment by the speaker & pull straight out >> It pops right off! Then slide it up to unhook the top by the window! Dont forget about the screw behind the door handle!

Yeah now that you mention it our cars do have a problem with water getting inside the door, when I pulled my panels off to investigate a blown speaker I found water and rust on it. I figured it was just my car, but if its happening to other people....
