Guide overview

Before you begin

The car speaker's primary job is to take the music sent from your radio or amplifier and convert it back into vibrations, which you hear as sound. Due to thermal or physical damage, over time, speakers can typically become blown or distorted. This guide will teach you how to replace the speakers in a '03 Toyota Camry. For info regarding reasons for speaker distortion, see this website Rockford blog. Word of caution, the factory speakers are discontinued, making finding new ones very difficult. I recommended you replace them with aftermarket speakers instead. To find aftermarket speakers that fit your car correctly, I recommend this website, Crutchfield. Lastly, when prying on the plastic screw covers in this guide, be sure not to overexert, as the plastic is cheap and easily breakable. Before you begin the repair, turn off the car and place it in Park.

Step 1

Repair step

  • Use a 10 mm socket to disconnect the negative (–) battery terminal.
  • Don't let the disconnected battery cable rest on metal!
Step 2

Repair step

  • Unlock the door.
  • Use a car trim removal tool to remove the plastic covering the screw.
Step 3

Repair step

  • Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the 22.2 mm inner door handle screw.
Step 4

Repair step

  • On the door control panel, use a trim removal tool to remove the screw cover.
  • Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the 22.2 mm screw beneath.
Step 5

Repair step

  • Remove the window control panel.
  • Avoid pulling or yanking it off as it is connected to the window control and side mirror cables.
  • Use a spudger or opening tool to disconnect the side mirror control wiring harness.
  • Disconnect the window control connector.
Step 6

Repair step

  • Remove the single 25.4 mm PH2 screw that is under the door control panel.
Step 7

Repair step

  • Use the trim removal tool to remove the screw cover on the top edge of the door.
  • Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the 22.2 mm screw beneath the cover.
Step 8

Repair step

  • Remove the plastic interior cover at the front corner of the window, above the door frame, to reveal the inside mounting area of the side mirror.
Step 9

Repair step

  • Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the two 22.2 mm screws at the bottom of the door frame.
Step 10

Repair step

  • Gently pull on the bottom edge of the door frame.

Step 11

Repair step

  • Pull upward to remove the door panel from the frame.
  • Hold the door panel in your hand as you proceed to the next step.
  • During reassembly, the top of the door panel (rubber window seal) must mount to the "lip" of the frame. This also makes it far easier to push all the plastic mounting latches back in afterward.
Step 12

Repair step

  • On the back of the door handle, remove the top white lock linkage rod.
  • Remove the green door latch rod below.
  • Don't forget to put the link rods back during reassembly, or you will not be able to open your door if you close it.
