Looking to replace the stock speakers (front & rear) on a new 2012 Silverado extended cab. Finding lots of information on removing front door panels, but no guidance on the extended rear doors. Some of the hardware is the same. It's the top part of the panel that's not clear.
Not sure how similar my 2006 extended door is to your 2012, but I also have a little trouble pulling it off when upgrading the speakers. I was able to get all the bottom and side clips popped, and then just gave it a good upward and out lifting motion. Not too hard, but it eventually just kinda came out. Watch for the open handle once it does come off the top, you'll have to pull it up to free the panel..
Thanks. This model has two side panels that extend all the way to the top of the door, up the sides of the window. The bottom panel can't come up until the two top panels on the sides are out of the way. I'll try to post a photo.
They are different, I can see that much in the pic for sure. It sort of looks like you just need pull it out from the top. It's probably a fiarly tight clip holding it in, being such a new truck. Try to pry it back and look in the side by the handle. You should see the clip a few inches down, and you just tug til it pops out.
It also looks like there is some sort of control button on the arm rest piece, just by the horizontal handle. If so, you'll need to pop that out and disconnect before taking the panel off.
This may also be a good time to invest <$25 for the repair manual for the truck. It would cover this and possibly have better site specific picture references to see what you're working with.
