i searched! I swear!!! front speaker cover removal.. help!

How do I remove the front speaker cover? Would like to give that thing a serious cleaning. I searched the forum, and the only thread I found.. basically was a few guys emailing each other info.

I love you all. Help a noob out.

Is that really the only way? I can see that its a separate panel that flexes near the door jamb... was hoping it could be removed.

If you try and take it off the door panel, you will break it. It has tabs, but they are melted in place from the back side if I remember correctly.

Start by removing the clip held in by two T20 bolts. This clip is near the door lock. Then lift that part of the trim away till the first clip beneath it pops. Then work your way around till the all release. Dont pull agressively. Just go till you hear it pop.

just use a tooth pick or needle to clean it out...or if you have access to a air gun you can use that...

gotta remove the door panel.

I don't remember you can remove the cover however. if i remember right they were put together with plastic peg through the door panel holes and then melts shut like 91RS said.

Will do Maverik! Good idea.

Melted clips... Insanely awesome or terribly poor. Don't know which one it is, Frank.

Stupid design IMO, but it will never rattle!
