When I play my music loud, and there is a long bass tone in the music, my passenger door rattles. shrug I have talked to some people, and they have said that the speaker is not blown, but that the speaker was rattling something loose in the door. Is this happeneing to anybody else? How do you take the door off to inspect what is in there? I have looked at it, and I don't see any way to take off the door, that doesn't involve possibly breaking anything.

Dorr pops right off. Get a door panel removal tool, or a screwdriver or putty knife. You have to pry the door panel off. Better buy some clips too as they will probably need replacing.

Before you attempt to remove it, remove the screw that is down in the arm rest/door grabbing area. Also make sure you remove the plastic plate behind the door handle (inside of car obviously) with a flat screwdriver (should pop out)
Then you can pop off the door. Be carefull, start in a corner and pull. The door is held on with blue plastic screws and clamps that attach to the screws. The clamps do break. You will also want to get new screws from you local dealer. They are like 10 cents per. If you try to re-use them, your door will rattle more. The plastic threads get destroyed when you pull it off.
Also be carful of the door lock. You need to pick up the door near the lock as to not tear the lock/mechanism away from the door.

Good luck, thumb
