Hi all,

I bought a new head unit and speakers for my Stook. For the life of me, I cannot remove that push pin on the upper corner of the door.

How in the hell did any of you that have taken the door panels off do it (without damaging anything)? If I wreck the plastic pin, I am sure it is inexpensive to replace, but how do i get it out?

I see that there is a little slot, and I tried pushing down on it with a thin screwdriver, but it did nothing.

Also, did any of you have trouble getting the screw for the door opener fascia back in? Mine doesn't seem to want to go in straight although the panel is on squarely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

PS. Head unit install was relatively easy too, it's the door panel that is bugding me!

Well it's relative easy. Take a small screwdriver, protect
the tip with some cloth and pry it out. On one door I took
it out with my nails! Shouldn't be too hard. Getting the
doorpanel off was a bigger challenge.

Just like above get that screw driver between the door panel and the metal of the car. Be very careful to not scratch anything! Pry it off and either A. have your hand infront of it or B. put a cloth infront of it that button is gonna shoot off like a bullet!
