I took off the door panel and installed some new speakers. Now I can't get it on, I worked with it for 30 minutes. I can't seem to get all of the hooks on. Is there a seceret to this?

I am not sure about that. I wouldn't think it would, it says custom fit for ford and nissan. It says on the box that it will fit.

That panel hooks up top by the window and sorta drops downward...usually you have to line-up the push pins with their holes...then snap em into place..

Also, I start with the hooks around the speaker and then get the others (if the others are sorta in place and I leave the speaker ones for last, those speaker ones hang me up).

I sometimes give it a love-tap upwards to help clear the hooks into the holes.

Good luck.

I start with getting the lock knob through the top and align the bottom hooks into the holes then guide it to go over the top ledge it sits in.

Make sure there are no 'extra' screw tabs hanging off the new speaker that may be blocking the door panel from seating correctly.
