Steps
Remove the front door panel
Pry up the window switch and door-pull trim, remove handle screws and clips, then release the panel edges with a trim tool. Lift the panel up and disconnect the courtesy lamp and switch plugs.
Remove the old tweeter
Unplug the tweeter, remove its mounting bolt, and lift it from the sail-panel area. Keep nearby wiring and clips clear of the opening.
Install the replacement tweeter
Seat the new tweeter in the original orientation, secure its fastener, and connect the harness. Check the connector lock is fully engaged.
Reinstall the panel and test
Reconnect the courtesy lamp and window switch, align the panel along the window channel, and press its clips home. Refit screws and trim, then test the tweeter and window.
