Light Harmonic Speakers - How to Remove the Front Door Panels of the Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is an engineering marvel, no doubt about it. But if you're looking to upgrade your car's premium audio system, you'll need to know how to get in there and access the speakers themselves. In this video, I show you how to get into the from door panels and remove the speaker driver.

Great video, I paid 8 bucks for trim tools and did it myself. On the 2016 front doors, there is a retention strap on the outboard top corner, gives enough slack to keep the panel on without stressing the wires. Also, the speakers are now held in by T25 torx screws. Once you figure out how to pop off the panels, the entire job is under 20 minutes per door, not counting beer breaks. Sound is fantastic!

Actually once the speaker grill is out take you right hand, grab the upper lip of the speaker inset and the left hand grab the hand hold and firmly and evenly give it a solid yank. the panel will come off cleanly

Dope

Thanks. Informative. Helpful. Now, please ask your cameraman to watch this entire video, then come back and tell us all if HE gets dizzy too.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I (stupidly) dropped something between the window and the door and it fell to the bottom of the door, but I was able to fish it out by popping off the door panel. My next project will be to replace my failed door handle on the rear door. Hoping that goes just a smoothly! :)

You are welcome :)

What about the tweet housing? I'm thinking of getting a pair of Focal PS 165FX and they come with a crossover unit and tweeters. How do I get to them and suggestions on where to put it? I know it's a competitor brand but I gave it a shot anyway :) Great video!

[@charleschen8784]

Where do you get those panel tools? I've got a 3D printer if they can be printed.

Remember, just pull out! That's what she said 😂😂😂 Sorry, couldn't resist... Great video!

[@lightharmonic]

[@AngelCruz-st9jp]

[@mattjames8683]

Nice video! Very informative! Do you have to turn off airbags somehow?

[@lightharmonic]

Not at all

[@MetalVII]

Any links for replacement clips? I’m getting my first Tesla next week and the previous owner has managed to break a few clips 😢

[@lightharmonic]

Not specific link, but I am sure these guys on eBay have them. www.ebay.com/str/calimotive

[@peytonohara]

Do I need to add an amp to my light harmonic speakers or do they have on built in ?

[@lightharmonic]

Hi. Our speakers do not have a built in Amp but you do not need to replace OEM Amp if you install our speakers in your car. Thank you

[@Elaba_]

Is it true you can't replace parts on a Tesla without registering this in the software of the car (Tesla Toolbox)?

[@lightharmonic]

We could replace a lot of components without any problem.

[@Younglaid]

Actually you need a 9mm

[@WatchRichRebuildsChannel]

Buy some extra clips. Every time you remove a door panel of these cars plan on breaking a clip or two. Just saying.

[@jurgi1103]

How much are they?

[@nicholasfu5937]

What type of clips are used on the door panels?
