Steps
Remove the front door panel
Switch off the ignition. Release the sail panel, window-switch bezel, handle trim, and door-pull trim. Unplug the window switch, remove the handle and pull screws, and free the panel clips with a trim tool. Lift the panel away and unclip the handle.
Remove the tweeter speaker
Remove the two 10 mm bolts securing the tweeter bracket and unplug the speaker connector. Lift the speaker and bracket away from the door without pulling on the wiring.
Install the replacement tweeter
Reconnect the speaker electrical plug and position the tweeter bracket in its original location. Reinstall and tighten both 10 mm bolts, checking that the harness is routed clear of the window mechanism.
Reinstall the panel and test
Clip the interior handle back into place, lift the door panel onto its guides, and press its clips home. Reinstall the screws and trim, reconnect the window-switch harness, and test the tweeter and window control before closing the door.
