A4 Door Panel Removal

[Fringe Ryder <fringe@ai.net>]

My front passenger side panel had a rattle.  Barrier wound up replacing the
whole panel, because the tweeter is integral and can not be
removed/repaired/remounted separately.  I suggest you just take it in to
service.

Audi of America requires your dealer give you a loaner if it will be
overnight.  Also, remind them that the '97 door panel is different from the
'96.  Mine was out-of-service longer than expected because a '96 panel
arrived, with velour on the armrests!
