Need Help Removing Door Panels on ML
Can anyone walk me through removing door panels on a 2000 ML? I want to change out the speakers in the doors. I could not find any posts on this. I read a post where a guy brought his ML to a Circuit City and they told him the air bags made it complicated.

I posted it somewhere...
There are like two screws(I think, its been a LONG time since I opened them up)
1 screw behind the airbag cover... 1 screw behind the arm handle, take off the mirror sail panel and its all clips, you will also need to release the door pins, just look at them when its off, strainght forward... airbag is attached to the door, dont go poking around it, it fights back

Just to answer the first post on the Airbags getting in the way:-
Airbags have nothing to do with removing the panels. You don't touch them! or any airbag related connectors!.

Hey, thanks for the great pics. I see you used an MB tool to popoff the panel, I guess any flat tool will do?
