you wont believe how many times this has been posted!

undo the screw next to tweeeter,
take out the door pin by unscrewing it..

take out the door handle and you;ll find 2 more screws

after that go round the card with a screwdriver carefully unclipping the clips around the door card and it should come off after that

for the tweeter there's another screw you undo that and it comes out.. make sure you unplug it.. then u can just force the tweeter out.. most of the aftermarket tweeters go in with a very tight fit so no need for glue

Sounds like a connecting rod has been bent if the handle needs 2 be pulled right back to open the door.

It's a rod which connects the door handle to the latch/lock mechanism inside the door.
