Hi Guys,
I damaged by accident the plastic cover of the loudspeaker of the rear right door of my A4-2007. I want to access this cover from behind and I think that the only way to do this is to remove the door panel. I didn't find any hints about the 2007 model and the explanations on various forums about the previous models don't seem very useful.
Could you please give me some advice to remove the door panel.

Thank you,

Sava

It should give you an idea how they're held on.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your reply. An excellent article that almost covers what I am looking for. The only difference is that my rear door has manually driven window and I suppose that I should find first a way to remove the handle, which doesn't seem very obvious.
As I only need access to the plastic cover's internal surface of the loudspeaker, located at the bottom left corner of the door, do you have any idea if I can remove that cover without removing the door card? I am rally afraid of breaking the special clips.

You'll have to get the door card off for proper replacement. I wish I could help you with the handle removal, but I can't. I HATE taking things apart for the first time. It always seems like something gets broken.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157207&amp;highlight=door+panel">Found this on Audizine - may help.</a></li></ul>

Just one more thing before I go completely offline - could you please post a picture pointing at the locations of the clips?
I hope that that way I wouldn't brake all of them.

Thanks,

Sava

Trust me on this... You can feel where they are, but it won't matter.
