I'm this far. I took off the arm rest, and window crank. With a flat blade, I popped the door covering off of the door from the front so that I got good access to the speaker. Mine has a round 4-5" piece of plastic bezel that I simply unscrewed with my hand.The speaker is attached to the front with some kind of adhesive. I saw another speaker where the same aforementioned bezel clipped on. Without too much bother I heard on the list that the maximum size you could go was 5 1/2" . -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Kim G Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 7:18 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: upgrading door speakers >Can anyone tell me exactly what must happen to remove this thing?

Carl and List, I just removed my door speakers recently, and I fought with them for a while too. I removed them by sticking a folding allen wrench into the holes in the speaker grill, unfold 2 of the wrenches so you have a 2-prong tool, and hold the back of the speaker with your hand, and turn the 2- prong tool around and it unscrews the front of the speaker without destroying it. bye, Kim _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com |
