I think you need to pry the grille from the top, there is a "bend" on the bottom. Let me know if you need a set of factory rear speakers :)

Re: C5 Rear Speaker Removal (MagChrome1)
Guys,
His bio says this is a convertible.
You don't want to pry out the grill on the convertible.
You will need to remove the entire plastic piece. If you pry the grill you will mess it up. It isn't meant to come apart like the coupe. The plastic piece comes off in one piece. It is held on with some metal tabs. They are not real easy to remove but if you are careful they will pop off. Just don't bend the plastic too far. I think there were 2 tabs on the top and one on the bottom. Not sure though. Maybe someone else remembers.

I removed the speakers, and both rears are fine. Now I have to check further into the problem. I'm not getting sound from the passenger side rear.
