does any body know what type of clips are used for on door panel for a kia rio, and if only the lower portion of the panel comes off or the whole door. im trying to change the door speakers.

Make sure you have all of the button style plugs out. Behind them are the screws. The rest of the door panel should be held on with the plastic style clips. You need a special tool to remove them properly so you don't destroy them. The tool and clips should be available at AutoZone or any parts store. ( I have seen the clips at AutoZone in the HELP section).
