A clear waterproof sound deadener deflector is used to seal the door inner panel and prevent entry of water into the body. The deflector is secured to the door inner panel with pressure-sensitive adhesive located on the outboard surface of the deflector. This allows the deflector to be peeled back as needed, to service the door components.

Remove the door trim panel. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door (Pontiac) or Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door (Chevrolet) .
Remove the front door radio speaker (5), if sedan. Refer to Speaker Replacement - Front Door in Entertainment.
