  Q: How to install the rear door Car Speakers assembly on the RH side on Scion xD?

  A: For installation of a rear door speaker on the right-hand side use either an air or hand riveter to put 3 strike rivets in while following the right rule for order.

Keep a good amount of pressure on both parts as you tighten the rivets to fill the entire gap between speaker and door. Do not alter the rivet distance from its initial position during installation. Fasten the speaker to its position after installing the connector. Start by adding the rear door trim board before you put in the rear door inside handle bezel and lastly the rear door armrest base upper panel.
