May 9, 200619 yr I'd like to install better speakers. I need to know where all the clips, screws etc are located and the correct procedure, twist, push here, pull there, so I don't damage the door panels. I've had my bad experiences (broken clips etc) with other cars. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the model year changes, so I don't know if instructions are already posted. Thanks Bob PS What years have the same body style as my 2001 Legacy?
May 9, 200619 yr Subarus are giant legos, they dont change much Here is how it works in a 97/98. You should have 2 screws in the arm rest and one at the door release. Remove the trim panel behind the outside mirror inside the door, it pops off. Start at the bottom of the door with a long screwdriver. there is usually one button style clip in the corner, and work your way around. Pop one at a time. Everything is plastic so they are fairly robust. Lift the panel off the door. Disconnect all harnesses at this point. Installation is the reverse. Hope that helps. nipper

May 10, 200619 yr If you go to your local Subie dealer Parts Department, they can print out a blow up of the door panel parts page which will show you where all of the parts, clips and doodads are located.
