Two DIY questions

[Drifter666]

Hey everyone.
I'm doing some body work to my Sentra. Mostly paint touchups at this point and there is a spot of rust that formed under the door handle. Does anyone have a guide or advice on how to get the exterior door handle off so I can sand off the rust and paint? Or is this something I should not tamper with?

I'm also looking to replace the rear speakers in the car as the OEM Speakers busted quite awhile ago. Just got the time and money to buy a set. Already replaced the front door speakers, that was easy. But looking at the back ones, I'm not 100% sure on how to get them off and I just wanted to ask so I don't mess something up.

Thanks in advance!

you have to remove the back seat upper part to get to the speakers. I ahve done it, but i can't remember all the specifics.

I think you put the seats down, and the plastic underneath needs to be removed to remove the palstic over the speakers.

FOr the rear speakers you need to pull the seats down, remove the "c" pillar covers (between the side 1/4 windows and the rear window). After that remove the center section that's at the top of the opening into the trunk, behind there you'll see 4 clips that are holding down the rear deck, there's a few snap clips at the top side as well that'll pop loose once you slide your hand underneath the rear deck cover. Hope this helps.



So basically remove 13,
then 15,
then you can see the 4 clips at the front of the rear deck piece 14.

to get to the door handle, you need to remove the inside door panel, i think window up to get to door handle.

Thanks guys. All the speakers have been replaced. It was raining so didn't look further into the door handle. This definitely helps.
