Rear door panel removal?

[prexium01ky]

Hey guys. New to the forums and just got a Mazda 2 a little over a month ago. I'm gonna be putting in some custom speaker equipment in it, and i need to know how to remove the rear door panels. So far i've only found guides for the front door pannels. If anyone knows that'd be greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it's actually the same process as for the front doors. Remove the screw in the armrest, pop off the cover behind the door handle, and remove the screw there. Then the panel should just unsnap from the composite panel behind it.

Awesome, thanks! Any ideas on getting my power cable from the hatch to the battery w/o drilling holes that'll void my warranty?

Just drilling holes won't void your warranty...the dealer would have to prove that the hole was the cause of whatever problem you brought the car in for.
