I had a deadlock failure in my Holden (Australian GM product) and I had to CUT a hole in the door panel to get to the mechanism! Lucky these cars are like fleas over here and a junk yard door panel was sourced with the new lock assembly. I hope I never have to do this to my Volvo as there is not a junk yard within 100 miles of here that has one and they want moon beams for the tinest nick nack!!

One correction to rossdaddy's post - it's the bottom LEFT hand screw in the speaker frame, not the RIGHT screw, at least it is on my 93 850. I also had to take off the padded cover above the handle and remove two screws behind that.
