jcal,

The speaker is retained by a plastic ring which threads onto the speaker
housing from the back.  So, to get to it you have to first remove the door
panel.  Use a door panel removal tool or else you might bitch up the
fiberboard around some of the fasteners.  The tools are probably cheap but, I
just made my own.  The door handles and window winders have to come off.  To
remove the handles, you have to pry off the small rectangular covers on
either end to gain access to the fasteners.  To get to the screw for the
window winder, do NOT try to remove what looks like a button.  You have to
pry off the covering from its entire length leaving the covering attached at
the knob end.  The map pocket stays attached; at least until you accidentally
knock it off.
