    2015 trying to get access door inside panel off. Removed both screws, seat belt 14mm bolt at bottom of door and little push clip-thing at top. Tried to grab bottom of panel and pull off but won't budge. Front door very easy and connectors just popped off. Am I missing something?

    Slow and steady ... they'll come off ... I Dyna padded the insides of mine .... to reinstall them I placed painter's tape on the panel side where the "push points" are ... lined the panel up ... tapped those areas ... back in business ... the only trouble area was the seat belt tension spring/gizmo .... can be a pain ... best of luck.

    They really made it difficult on the 2015: NO SPEAKER GRILLE in the access door. Someone thought it would be a good idea to put cheap speakers in the overhead under the liner. Still, I want to take the door panel off and add some Dynamat and maybe I'll find some speaker wiring there? Anyone added speakers to these no-grille doors?

    The '13 doesn't have speakers in the access doors either. Oh what a feeling!

    It's not a disaster to crush the keeper pins in the door panels. Most auto supply stores have them or they can be ordered from Belkin. They have a big sample book to find the right one.

    I place the painter's tape on the opposite (passenger) side of the panel so when I line it up I know where the connecting points are ... the little grommets ... that hold the panel to the door frame. These are the points that I can push/snap it in.
