You don't need spacers to clear the window cranks. Just remove the grill
from the fancy smancy plastic speaker holder and screw the grill flush to
the door panel. I believe I got this from Benny up north across the border.
Works great, sounds great and you don't need to get spacers for your window
cranks that are eventually gonna brake.
