• 🥇 Febi Bilstein (Germany) - the article numbers coincide with the original ones, the quality of the plastic is at a high level. Price: ~3,500–5,000 RUR.
• 🥈 Hella (Germany) - good sound insulation, but there may be problems with mounting the speakers on some batches.

1. Finishing material: fabric, leatherette or plastic. The original is fabric with soft filling.
2. Presence of holes for speakers, knobs and buttons (if there is an electrical package).
3. Complete set: ideally there should be new clips and seals.

Step-by-step instructions: how to remove the door card on Nissan Almera Classic

Removing the door trim is a task that even a novice can handle if done carefully. Main rule: do not pull the card by force, otherwise you will break the clips or damage the wiring. You will need:

• 🔧 Flat screwdriver or special clip remover.
• 🔧 Phillips screwdriver (for removing the speaker, if required).
• 🔧 Plastic spatula (to pry the card without scratches).
• 🔧 Marker or tape (for marking wires).

Sequence of actions:

Make sure the glass is closed (not in one-touch mode)

Remove the decorative trim of the door handle (pry it up with a screwdriver from below)

Unscrew the screw under the handle (if any)

Carefully pry the card around the perimeter, starting from the bottom corner

Disconnect all connectors (speaker, window regulator, control unit) -->

More details about each step:

1. Glass and handle: Close the glass completely and lock the door (to prevent it from opening accidentally). Remove the decorative trim of the handle by prying it off with a flat screwdriver from the bottom - there is usually a groove there.
2. Self-tapping screws: On some versions Almera Classic a self-tapping screw is hidden under the handle (usually on cars with power accessories). Also check for screws on the bottom of the card (next to the speaker).
3. Clips: Start from the bottom corner of the card. Pry it with a plastic spatula and pull it towards you. The clips should pop out with a characteristic click. Do not apply force to the top — there are wires going through there!
4. Wiring: After removing the card, disconnect all connectors. If you're not sure which one goes where, take a photo or mark it with tape. Particular attention should be paid to the speaker wire (it often gets stuck).

What to do if the clip breaks?

If the clip remains in the door, carefully pry it up with a screwdriver and pull it out with pliers. New clips (item no. 73201-3M000) can be purchased separately. Do not use self-tapping screws instead of clips - this will interfere with sound insulation and may damage the window lift mechanism.

⚠️ Attention: On versions with side airbags (optional SRS) there are squibs in the door cards. Do not disconnect the battery before removing the trim - this may cause the airbag to deploy! It is enough to wait 10 minutes after turning off the ignition.

Door card repair: from restoring fabric to replacing speakers

You don’t always need to buy new trim—many problems can be fixed on your own. Let's look at the most common faults and how to repair them:

Problem	Reason	Solution	Cost, ₽
Cracks in plastic	Temperature differences, mechanical loads	Glue plastic epoxy resin or use soldering iron with solder for plastic	200–500
Tissue/skin peeling	Glue wear, moisture ingress	Glue glue "Moment-Crystal" or replace the finish with a new one	300–1 500
Speaker doesn't work	Oxidation of contacts, broken wire	Clean the contacts, check the wiring with a multimeter	100–300
Creak when opening the door	Worn seal or clips	Replace clips, lubricate seal silicone grease	500–800

If you decide change speakers at the door, please note:

• 🔊 Standard size of front speakers - 16 cm (6.5"), rear - 13 cm (5").
• 🔊 Amplifier power in the standard radio - up to 20 W, so don't make the speakers more powerful 50 W without modifications.
• 🔊 To improve the sound, you can install sound insulation (For example, StopNoise or Bimast) on the inside of the card.

Installing a new door card: nuances and mistakes

Installing trim is the reverse process of removing it, but there are several critical momentsthat are often missed:

1. Wiring check: Before installing the card, make sure that all wires (especially the speaker and window regulator) are not pinched or twisted. Use multimeter to check the circuit.
2. Clips: Install new clips (part no. 73201-3M000). Old ones may not hold the card tightly, which will lead to squeaks.
3. Seals: Some cards have rubber seals around the edges - they need to be cleaned of dirt and lubricated silicone grease for durability.
4. Window Lifter Adjustment: After installation, check the glass movement. If it is tight, perhaps the card is pressing on the mechanism - you need to bend the fasteners.

Common installation errors:

• ❌ Map skew — if the clips are not in place, the casing will hang loose.
• ❌ Forgot to connect the speaker — check the sound immediately after installation.
• ❌ Damaged wiring - especially dangerous for cars with electrical accessories (the control unit may burn out).

If after installation there are extraneous sounds (creaks, knocking), the reasons may be as follows:

• 🔧 The card does not fit well to the door - check the clips.
• 🔧 The wires got under the window lift mechanism - disassemble and move them.
• 🔧 The glass seal is worn out and needs to be replaced.

StopNoise Pro	2 mm	Inside of the card	250–350
Splen 3004	4 mm	On the door cavity (to absorb vibrations)	400–500
