Next screw about half way out and then pull hard on the screws under the door card.
They should pop out easy enough. If not unscrew them a bit more then pull on them.
Step 2:
The door card will now come loose but it will not come free due to two hidden screws
First remove the cover surrounding the handle. (Photo C)

I used Vibe Slick 57 5x7inch which had a variety of fitting holes to use. The four I used lined up directly with fords holes and screwed right in after connection. (Photo G)

Step 4:
Once the speakers have been installed and you've checked they are working. Simply work backwards to re attach the doorcard and finish off by reinstalling the screw cap in the door release bay.
And there you go your front speakers are in and working.
I'm happy with the sound the Vibe Slick 57s produce from the standard head unit however they are ripe for amping.
Check back for hopefully more regular updates in the new year.
this is a big help! cheers mate, ever done the rears? hopefully they're the same!
