question
2001 coupe. just noticed that the drier side rear speaker "cover" is loose. It is not holding tight against the car.
any one have a link or information on how you remove and replace the rear speaker surround. Not the grill itself, the plastic surround.
thanks in advance.

Here's some info that was posted here on the forum a while back. Hope it helps you out a bit. It deals with the rear speaker removal.
From the book:
Removal
1. Open the rear lift window panel.
2. Using two flat bladed tools, CAREFULLY and simultaneously pry at the upper RH and LH edges of the rear radio speaker grille to release the locking tabs.
3. Pivot the speaker grille downward to release the lower retaining tab, then remove the grille.
4. Remove the push-in fastener (in the lower corner of the speaker opening) retaining the rear compartment side trim panel.
5. Remove the rear speaker retaining screws. Finesse the rear compartment side trim panel carefully upward, rearward and outward slightly to access the upper speaker retaining screw.
6. Begin to remove the rear speaker in order to access the electrical/audio connector.
7. Disconnect the electrical/audio connector from the rear speaker.
8. Remove the rear speaker.
Install
1. Connect the electrical/audio connector to the rear speaker.
2. Install the rear speaker into position. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
3. Install the rear speaker retaining screws. Finesse the rear compartment side trim panel carefully upward, rearward and outward slightly to access the upper speaker retaining screw.
Tighten: Tighten the rear speaker retaining screws to 2.5 N•m (22 lb in).
4. Install the push-in fastener (in the lower corner of the speaker opening) retaining the rear compartment side trim panel.
5. Insert the rear speaker grille lower retaining tab into position.
6. Raise the speaker grille and align the locking tabs.
7. Carefully push the tabs in to lock.
8. Close the rear lift window panel.
