Hey All,

Was just wondering, if anyone here has taken apart there front doors? As well as their rear doors? The reason, is because I want to change my front speakers & Sound deaden it heavily, & my rear doors, pretty much just to sound deaden.

Now I was told that, removing the front doors, on a ZRE is harder than it seems, but I don't actually believe it to be so.

So if anyone can help me out, and tell me what I should be doing...

- I have already sound deadens my parcel shelf, I just now need to do just my front & rear doors...

Behind the handle there is a cover, take it off, you will find a screw. Pop out the window controls and disconnect the wires. Then pry the door trim from the bottom, you should see two indents where you can put your fingers, then just pull towards you, then gradually, increase the spacing between your hands and making your way up both sides of the door, the door will eventually come loose. Then once all clips are removed, pull door trim up and wallah!

Thanks for that, I guess I will have to give it a try, and when done i'll throw some pictures up :)

Also, the way I learnt to do it, I found a thread about changing the speakers. Do a search and skim through a couple of the threads and you should find pictures to help you out. When I get home, I'll try to find it and send you the link :D

Well Today, I went to the Panel & Mechanic place, of where my car is being repaired, they let me play around in the doors, but also said that they are not held responsible (I accepted obviously...) & Well, it's actually very scary doing it the first time everything is friggen stiff and bricks, and I finally took apart my drivers door :) however I wasn't allowed to put sound deadening inside, or do anything to it :( The bad thing is when I put all of it back together, it doesn't seem right? It seems like everything is TOO LOOSE now?

on a side note, are you going to use dynamite in the doors?

Its pretty awesome stuff and doesn't make the car quitier

Yeah, I didn't care for my car being quieter (Except for the engine, I want it to have ZERO SOUND in the cabin, but thats for another thread)

I'm just confused as to weather or not, my door is fine or not :(

I'll find out 2moro, when I go in again to inspect me car :)

Just getting back with an update, today I pryed my driver's door back, but I think I ****** it hard... since now, even with the dynamat all over the metal side of the door, and on the plastic it's self, I get a rattling noise from the window button's... and it sounds like a plastic on plastic rattling...

& I'm more than 100% sure I put all the clips back in place, mind you, it was friggen hard to take off!

It's okay Pete :)

I finally MASTERED my door :)

Double layer sound deadening, one of the actual door metal & one on the plastic door trim just to make 100% sure, and OMFG, I never knew Toyota used GOOD QUALITY Cheap products! I'm seriously amazed at what it sounds like...

Next step is a bit of a tough one, seeing as my parcel shelf already pushes the bass for me, but should I? (Do I really?) need to change my front speakers...

& other than that, even though the bass is barely enough, I want parcel shelf speakers that fully sound like Subwoofers :) (or even a hint close to it...)

Save me the hassle of having to buy a new sub and only get annoyed because I blew it up, because I'm a bass hungry idiot who cranks the bass so high, that my car does not have enough DC to power it :(

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      Well, new tyres, a proper wheel balance seems to have done about 90% of the trick - the car now drives like it once did. The only thing is that a wheel bearing was called out as "completely stuffed" and as it is so bad, the only way to fix due to wear on the knuckle is to replace the whole thing. Quoted $600 for the repair and no parts for this until mid next week. Once this is replaced I will update if back to 100% or still more problems. I was thinking that the aftermarket CV shafts could be to blame - very glad this turned out not to be the case.

      New to Toyota - 2005 Corolla Sportivo!

      Long time no update. In all honesty, not an awful lot to update on. Life has been super busy and inbetween life, I get a chance here and there to clean the beast and also arrange for the usual 5000 km oil change. The car is showing it's age with more noticeable paint fade on the roof. After some time I've decided to order the parts to fix my slow power steering leak. After receiving the quote from Toyota, I was able to get the parts from overseas for not even a 1/3 of the cost it would've cost me to order here. The parts are due here in 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking of getting this done with the major service which will be due later this year at some point seenig as the car is quickly approaching 293000 kms this month. Other than that, I'm still enjoying driving the car and the money spent late last year was well worth it.

      Vibration through body (not steering wheel) under acceleration

      I've noticed the same issue after changing the front shocks from OEM to KYB - and while I don't think the shocks are to blame, it could be that there's been an issue which the old shocks covered up by not working at all after 230,000kms. I've also changed the CV joints in mine, replaced the front suspension bushings; hoping that a wheel alignment and new tyres helps this - will post back in the morning the result. Adam,
