12) Fit new speaker into adapters making sure connector plugs are in the recess




Test speakers before you fit the door card in case there is a problem

Yep but the trim with the tweeter in has a screw in it you'll see when door card is removed, first disconnect wiring to mirror and the tweeter then undo the screw and unclip the trim they are expanding peg type clips just carefully prise the trim away from door and place to one side, next you have some foam insulation type stuff to remove then you'll see the bolt T45 torx I think it is? that holds the mirror on, remove that while holding mirror in case it falls, once bolt removed the mirror should be free and only held by the fact it has a hook type clip and a locating peg that align it with door so tilt mirror down then lift up and out to remove it
