SuperCab Rear Door Trim Removal

[ProtonDecay]

Hope this is in the right spot and not a repeat, but I couldn't find a post like this already, so here goes.

For those with SuperCabs, here is a pic of where the key attachments are to remove the interior trim.

The red circles are screws (#20 Torx) and the yellow circle is the most problematic plastic fastener. Screws are at the bottom of the door (easy), at the bottom of the handhold below the speaker (below a piece of felt), and behind a clip-on piece of trim next to the door handle (use pick tools to pry loose).

The middle plastic fastener point is difficult to reach with removal tools even after loosening everything else and prone to breaking off the raised plastic post (thank goodness for cyanoacrylate adhesive ;-) ).

Thanks for posting this! I'll definitely used this as a reference when I upgrade the speakers. Is that what you did? If so, what speakers did you go with?

Might do the speakers someday, but this removal was to install Noico against the outer door and on the backside of the trim in the larger "resonating" areas. My old/abused ears are increasingly bothered by higher pitch sounds like the road noise coming in from the lower door panels and rear panel.

Bookmarking this for later as I plan on doing the same thing eventually.

Thanks for the post an video. I already did the front speakers but dread the rear. That video makes it look more manageable than it appears.

I pulled the door card off to fix a rattle in the pillar and these clips remained on the metal door panel. I can’t remove them from the door without fear of bending the
Flimsy Metal hold them in. I think trying to push them back on to the door card would probably not work as they appear to slip into the slot in the card then be pushed into the door hole. Trying to push the card in to the door with these still in place would most likely not seat correctly.
I think my next step is to cut them off with some side cutters and Order more Off Amazon. Any other ideas how to get these out of the door?

Can't remember for sure, but on mine I believe these were plastic clips rather than metal and they just pulled out with a fork tool (looks like a little pry bar but designed with a fork end to evenly pull exactly this type of plug. They definitely go back in more easily than coming out. The alternative is you can just leave them and then use a soft blow to pop them back into the panel once you are putting it back on.
