Default Speakers Glued?

Am I crazy or are the blose speakers in my 84 glued to the inside of my door?

I'm sure someone has found out a good way to remove them with minimal damage... I'd take some suggestions.

No highs, no lows, must be Bose

:seeya

Mine came right out (from my 85), but I do recall them prying them with a screwdriver.

Yep they are glued in with some sort of fiberglass glue. I found a hairdryer worked very well to loosen it up, then just a good firm push and I was able to get then out. Getting those damn things out of the door is a major PINA

Yeah, it looks like the same crap they use to hold on to that vapor barrier plastic sheet that seperates the inner door from the outer door.

Alright, I might have done something like this earlier this evening :cheers:

Anywho, I figured it'd be a procedure of introducing some heat and a screw driver... I am just glad to hear there haven't been any major screwups reported.

It could get into the high 30's this weekend, can you say :party: naked?

Hey, I know this is off topic but, what is the meaning of the hammer dude? Are you hammering on me for being an idiot or what? I can't disagree with my lack of knowledge on vette stereo modification... I am just hoping you are agreeing with the "No highs, no lows bit."

Either way thanks for the help :cheers:

No -- I'm not busting on you. Ford wrench? Hammer? In other words, take the speaker out with force... If there was a little screwdrriver dude I would have used him. NOW THERE IS AN IDEA FOR A SMILEY! Wow -- could that one be put to good use!

Yep -- I guess my lame attempt at humor didn't make it through.... :rolleyes:
