This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 8th generation (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, & 2011) Honda Civic in removing the front door panel to access the speaker or power window motor & regulator. Owners of other Honda or Acura vehicles such as the Accord, Crosstour, CR-V, CR-Z, Element, Fit, Insight, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, RL, TL. TSX, ZDX, MDX, and RDX may also find these instructions to be helpful. A few of the reasons that you may need to remove a door panel on your Honda Civic is to add sound insulation such as Dynamat, replace the door speaker with an upgraded unit and replace a faulty power window motor/regulator assembly. The only tools needed to remove the door panel include a Phillips head screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver or an automotive panel removal tool. I.C.E.

removing door panel with window crank I've seen the DIY on removing the door panel for those with power windows.........but I happen to have manual roll-down windows (with the window crank). So, is there anything different I need to do to remove the door panel on my car? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! BTW, I have a 2001 civic hx coupe. Premium Member Hey! Look At Me!!

Usually the clip opens opposite of the window crank, so you're not fumbling around trying to pop it out and possibly scratching your door panel. You want to push the clip out on the open end, don't use a pick or screwdriver you'll lose the clip when it flings out into oblivion, just get a window crank tool, or ask an installer to borrow (throw him a couple bucks).

I bought a very expensive crank removing tool, its calleda "fishhook and pair of needlenose pliers" one half of this extreemely pricey and excellent tool cna be bought at your local sportsman store, you probbaly have the other half lying around. works like a champ, my door the clip wasfacing under the crank, so id have to maneuver between the shaft of the crank and the door, rather than the opposite side where id have more freedom of motion.

I wrapped a flathead screwdriver in a towel and used the needle nose to pull the clip out. Another way is if you can see the clip . . . then just get the flathead and "push" it out. once you know what the clip looks like it makes sense. Another way is to get a skinny rag and slide it in there and just move it back and forth till the clip comes out, but this way is the most time consuming since it's all luck. If you look by the handle there's a little rectangle, pop that off with some precision screwdrivers and there's 2 screws behind it. Then by the part that you grab in the middle of the door. . . where you grab to open the door (I don't know what it's called) That part you can pull off, and there's 2 screws behind it as well. And you may need to pull off this plastic piece up by your side mirrors, that just pops out when you pull it.
