What size torx wrench needed to remove 05 tahoe door panel?

After getting my head unit installed yesterday I am installing new speakers in the truck today. I ran into one problem though - the torx screw in the front door panels.

Does anyone know what size it is offhand? I'll run to the store later to try and find what I need but figured i'd check here in case anyone knows...

I don't know the size.. but you can't buy just one torx bit screwdriver, they usually come in a set.

My set was 9.99 and has 40 interchangeable bits with 6 torx bit sizes in it.. Walmart for the win!!!

You actually CAN buy a Torx driver separate, they're just hard to find. I'd still go with what he said... the set will do you well.

Unless the screws have been replaced before with something different, the screws should be 7mm hex, not torx (you can also use 9/32). If it was replaced, then a screw that size will probably range anywhere from t-15 to t-25, more likely a t-20.

Yep, i figured out what it was about 20 minutes after my original post. It was a T-20 and was the original hardware.

Just curious, but what screw was it exactly that you had to remove that was a torx? I probably work on 10-15 of these model trucks a week since the day they came out and have never had to remove a torx screw to remove the door panel, front or rear.

Yeah no kidding I was like a 7mm.

Hmm? I bought mine used and some ******* was in them panels before...lol

I sit corrected. Ha!

The stock air box requires torx biit, realized that when i switched my filter. Whole reason I had to go buy some.
