How to Remove Front door panel Bose Speaker Amplifier Instruction

See our Shipping page and Free Repair Estimates.

1) Remove three screws along bottom of panel.

1) Remove the two screws in the hand hold on the armrest and remove.

1) Lift back edge of arm rest first, lift up to release and remove arm rest.

1) Remove two screws exposed screws for armrest removal.

1) Remove the two screws behind the door latch hand lever that opens the door. You will have to pull the lever out to get at them. (They are also the hardest screws to put back.)

1) Door panel insert will slightly drop.
NOTE - the next two pictures are out of sequence to show what to look for in the following descriptions.

This gets tricky! This picture
1) While laying on the ground, on your back, looking up behind door panel. You must release two rosette clips, a plastic clip rotated to side of linkage to allow linkage to release. One for the door lock pictured here.

One for the door open handle.
Both rosette clips on this door panel are green.

1) After releasing rosette clips (2), remove door open handle from door panel.

1) Lower door panel to remove.

1) There is one hook on panel that needs to be moved into a position to allow door panel removal.

1) Remove metal bracket over Bose speaker enclosure. This bracket has a floating nut with two bolt holes for securing the door open handle. (More below)
2) Remove screws and nuts securing Bose amplifier/speaker enclosure to door.
3) Release trigger on connector to disconnect.

I find reinstalling this door panel more difficult than the removal. The floating nut plate mentioned above is difficult to align when reinstalling door panel. Because this nut plate moves, even though there is black putty to secure in place it will move when attempting to install the two screws for the door handle. I jam a piece of cardboard into the plate area to keep it from moving. You will have to put the door panel back in place to see it the bolt holes line up, you may do this several times before finding the line up point. Be patient!
