Door Panel Question
I just got 2 new door panels for the 87 vert, got a question for someone who has put them in before.
I can see where the speaker hole is scored, whats the best way to cut it out?

I haven't done this to a new door panel, but I've cut a lot of plastics. I'd probably drill a 1/2" hole about 1/2" away from the scored line, then use a jigsaw with a fine-tooth saw and just take my time cutting it out. Depending on how deeply scored it is, you might be able to use a straight edge and a sharp box cutter, then just kind of knock it out.

I have installed these that I bought from Willcox. Be careful when you cut the speaker holes. I measured my original door panel speaker grill location, and duplicated the location on my new ones. If I would of went by the lines for the holes that were on the new panels, the holes would have been off. Would have been a expensive mistake. I used a utility knife with a new blade and replaced it a couple times during the process. Take you're time. Mine come out perfect.
