its not at all different... i've been removing mine with no problems... same as a sedan's.

remove the plastic "c" thing at the door catch... remove the plastic trim from the latch... remove the hex bolt, unlatch the rod from the latch, push the latch assembly forwards(towards the front of the car) to dislodge it from the door... remove/disconnect the "light" at the bottom, lift UP on the door card... DO NOT pull towards you... the speaker will still be connected so don't rip out the door card just yet...

the hardest part to dislodge is the strip where the window felt is. sometimes the rubber/felt gets left behind on the door sheetmetal.... sometimes it doesn't.

but don't force anything... the cardboard backing is stiff.... but once it bends considerably it'll be soft at the crease for life....
