Burmester Speaker Grille/Cover Removal
 
Hi all,

I need advice on removing the burmester speaker grille/cover on the drivers door of a mercedes w205. Anyone tried it ?

I have a slight dent on the grille that i want to pop put, or perhaps i can pull out the dent without removing the speaker grille ? Hope im not the first to dent it :)

Thanks in advanced for your feedback.

I also have the same problem. Dealer said the door panel has to be taken out in order to push out the dent.

Yeah, you need to pull the door panel. Both of mine got dented when we replaced the speakers.

Are there speakers behind that grill?

There should be a crappy 4" speaker behind that lovely grille.

I called the dealership and they mentioned the silver panel must come off, not the whole door trim. The speaker grille is clipped onto the silver panel surrounding it. Also to order a new grille costs $165 Aus dollars and takes 3-4 weeks manufacturing and shipping from Germany.

Honestly I don't remember denting it, I'm very anal with my interior. Weird.

They're made of tin foil. It'll pop right back.

Do you know how to take off the door panels?

Did you ever figure out a way to pull out the dent in the speaker?? Just got mine dented and I'm trying to fix it.. Really sad day haha...

C43_AMG_NJ 05-30-2017 01:31 PM

Does anyone know how to remove those small panels that hold the speaker covers, I have new carbon fiber door panels and don't want to remove the entire door panel. Thanks

Mike5215 05-30-2017 03:56 PM

The speaker grille clips can only be accessed from behind by removing the door panel.

my rear passenger side has a dent from a box i think, any way to fix without taking door panel off and if i dont have a glue gun? picked up an air conditioner for my girlfriend while my car was already full with a bike so slammed the door shut about 2 months ago, but just noticed it..

This happened to me too, I used a dental pick. Its small enough to go through the holes and you can start pulling from there. Just pull lightly, the grill is soft and you might have to do a few holes to let it get back to its original shape. Try your local drug stores, sometimes even walmart sells it. It really worked for me... good luck folks!

Good day, people. I'm new on this website (perhaps obviously).

Close to a year after this topic started, senior member mo11 posted two messages that seemed helpful.

I just wish that I knew what tool it is that mo11 (or whoever) is using in the photos on the Burmester speaker grille.

In full disclosure (and at the risk of wasting people's time), I state that my dented-grille problem is that of dented boombox grilles. That's right: portable items scores, if not hundreds of times less expensive than the fine autos expressly or implicitly featured on this website. But, hey, when a guy is desperate ...

Anyway, perhaps it is obvious, but the grilles of the speakers that I have in mind are probably much stiffer than the grilles of the high-end vehicle sound systems dealt with here. Something tells me that the Dentek Pick & Scaler set recommended by mo11, intriguing as it is, will not work well. But perhaps the apparently all-steel tool in the same date's trio of pictures will work. If I can just ID the exact type of tool, the brand, the model, etc. …

unfortunately, I don’t have the exact name and model. But, a quick google search of dental pick came up with some results of all steel tools similar and available in amazon.


i’m attaching a link of the first one that came up in amazon. ‘Hope this helps.
