Not really needed

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Got the door trim removal tool and didn't really need it on any door panel as the door panels on my F250 popped off with no issues and snapped right back into place after replacing the speakers.

Great, Simple Tool

This little tool is amazing. It made removing my Silverado door panel 10x easier. It's thin enough to get behind, yet strong enough to get the panel fasteners to let go. Extremely handy tool for working on vehicles.

I wish I had this tool years ago! I am always a nervous wreck when pulling panels because its so easy to break the clips. This tool made it so easy. I do try to do my own maintenance so I pull panels sometimes and the worst part is the worrying over breaking the clips. Cant say enough, Get this tool!

This tool made my job so much easier with installing speakers and running amp wiring. You could probably do the same without this but this helped a lot and left no scratches if you watch what you are doing.

Pros:

Faster Installs

Cons:

A littly pricey

Not happy

Written By Richard, El Dorado Ks on Sunday, February 03, 2013

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Although this tool is designed to be helpful after installing my speakers I wish that I had not used or paid for this tool. I have installed hundreds of speakers over the years and in order to do so I have removed may door panels but I have never damaged as much of a door panel as I did this time using this tool! It just seems to apply pressure in such a way that it leads to damage to the panel and the plastic clips used to secure the panel to the door. In the future it would be nice if Crutchfield would supply replacement clips or at least offer them for purchase.

not needed

Written By Jeff, Sherwood, AR on Saturday, September 29, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Looks like it would be useful, if your vehicle uses clips to secure the door panels. My 2003 Dodge Ram did not. It has hooks that slide into the door, so once the screws are removed you just lift it off.

Pros:

looks like it would work

Cons:

didn't need it, pretty expensive for what it is.

Great Basic Tool

Written By Jake W, Corning, NY on Friday, July 06, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

This tool is much bigger than what the picture shows or maybe it was just me. It's pretty thick so you need to start at a section that is easy to pry up. I did not take this advice but if your worried about your doors wrapping the ends in electric tape could help. My doors came off easy with this tool and only broke one small plastic thing some where out of 4 doors, so overall it was a huge success.

Pros:

Saved me time, and energy. Helped me safely remove my doors. Strong and can be used on all different typed of doors.

Cons:

Like others have said this is a bit pricey for what it is. I think 5 would be a good value for this but then again 10 is a lot cheaper than having to buy new door panels which I am sure I would have destroyed without this tool.

Though probably not necessary it made the job of taking the door panel apart a much easier experience.

Pros:

Worked like a charm getting my door panel off

Cons:

A little pricey for a piece of stamped sheet metal

Door Panel remover

While this might be a great tool, I'm disappointed that Clutchfield added it to my order when it won't work on my 2003 Dually. No need for it at all. There are no tabs to pop.

Totally Unnecessary

Written By Dave, Hammond, LA on Friday, January 20, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

I go to Crutchfield in large part because they're very thorough when it comes to helping inept self-installers like me. The flip side of that coin, though, is that they can easily over-equip somebody who doesn't know ahead of time what some of the "recommended accessories" are for. This Dash faceplate removal tool is not some sort of ultra-specific piece that comprises the only way I could've loosened the dash panel front on my Silverado (I figured when I included it in my order that it was); the task it performed could just as easily been performed by the putty knife/spackle spreader I have in my tool box (as well as by any of my wider chisels, or even a kitchen spatula). Don't waste your money; spend it on components, then head to the kitchen drawer for a spatula when it's time to install.
