Front door assembly

[blucb7]

I'm having no sound from my front passenger side door on my ex-r. (se in most countries i believe) I also hear water dripping inside the door when it rains which is clearly a related problem. Anyway i cannot find any instructions for dis-assembling the doors online. Is a special tool needed to unhook clips?

Nope just pull firmly
You could get a panel popper if you wanted to be extra careful.

That is normal. Every car is like that... You have drains on the bottom of the door skin to let the water pass through...

k thanks guys but i dont hear the water in my other door to the same degree because i found my weather stripping has ripped by the mirror allowing all water inside from the window. Anyway i popped out the speaker and had a look at the wiring which seems fine but still no sound. Im thinking the speaker may have been wet but it should still work a little bit no?

Shouldn't the speaker be separately sealed off in the door? You probably just blew it out or it decided to die.

Water could cause some electrical damage, but before you get too far along, COMPLETELY fix that leak. In regards to "how to" when dismantling the vehicle, i HIGHLY recommend Haynes Auto Manuals, they show you how to do just about anything on your car. They run about $20 and most auto parts stores have them for our cars on hand.
