i am trying to replace my speakers in my 96 dodge ram 1500

can someone tell me how to get panel off

do i need the trim removal tool to remove the trim or could i just use a regular tool?(heard from friend)


please help!

 

just did mine a month or so ago, and if I recall there are only a couple screws and the rest are just the push in christmas tree type clips. I think there is a screw holding the inner door handle on that has to be removed first.

edit: this is for the 4 door quadcab, if yours is a 96 I don't think it would have rear doors, so disregard this...

 

the 2-door club cab uses just the christmas tree-type clips. i recommend using the proper tool, i just pulled mine, and the top clip broke off. stupid, i know =\

 

Yeah, but then you can get new clips. Always good to have something new. LOL

 

ya its club cab (extended cab) but i heard it had something other then christmas trees holding it in

i know there screws but i didnt know what else thxs

now i just gotta get a 5x7 speaker into a 5 1/4 hole lmfao but i can get tht to fit easy

 

Put a 6.5" in instead.

 

What he said, but all my interior panels are laying in the garage right now, wouldn't be hard to trim out the sheetmetal for any size speaker.

 

first you remove the rear seat for better access then you need to take all the screws out and remove panel.I do believe that the panel behind the rear seat has the tree type push in's. You can use a small carpenters pry bar for them, had mine out many times to shampoo the rug and to make sure the floor is not rusting plus to throw down a coat of wax before i install the rug and panels
