How do I remove the rear door speaker cover

[phildg2000]

The speaker cover on my right rear door is cracked and I need to replace it. Do I need to remove the door panel to change it?

Thanks,
Philip

Hi did mine, the cover is fitten with a few lugs that go through the door card and are then heated. I took my door card off, but I just pushed the new one in without melting the lugs. So if you are happy to do this you could carefully remove the old one cutting off the lugs and just pust the new one on.

I had same problem with my X5. According to my indie shop, they had to remove the door panel to replace the cover speaker.

Thanks for the reply zetecor and bluegle.
I figured I'd have to remove the panel but I think I will try zetecor's approach first; no harm in trying.

your welcome, you just cant melt the lugs once through the card but quite a tight fit anyway.
