Default Door speaker covers

Does anyone know how to remove the covers on the speakers mounted on the doors. I imagine it must be pretty easy, but I don't want to ruin my speakers. Thanks.

Mark

I would remove the door panel, and just take your time with it. The bose grill is attached to the door panel itself with metal tabs bent outward, just bend them in and remove. Use that procedure in reverse to put them back on. Good Luck

I don't reccommend taking it off without the door panel, you can get it off without taking the door panel off, but getting it back on tight will be a chore. With the right tools you can take the whole door panel off in a couple of minutes or less.

Me too. Powder coated mine. Definitely remove the door panel first. It's not hard and then the removal (and re-installation) of the screens is easy.

Thanks guys!!! I was trying very hard not to remove the entire door panels but I guess I will have to. I've decided to paint some interior parts and the speaker covers are one of the items. I've been looking at the same drab black interior for 5 years now. Thanks again!!!
