Removing /replacing C Class coupe door speaker grilles.

[DaveB123]

Hello, has anyone had to replace a damaged door speaker grille on their coupe (the one at the bottom corner nearest the rear pillar). I have two on order from Ebay as I noticed hole damage on my LH and RH grilles (probably from closing the door without the seat belt retracted enough). Just wondered if it's a case of gently prising them from the door, or if it's a pig of a job to do (ie, best left to a garage).

Thanks in advance, Dave.

I believe it's a door card off job and the grills are held on by melted 'riviets'

Many thanks. In that case I'll take it to a trim specialist, as I will no doubt damage something if I try it myself.

Looking at the age of your car, replacing the windows switches may be prudent if you're paying someone else for labour,
I found the drivers window switch gets unpredictable after 10+ years of use.
They're not unduly expensive compared to the potential overall labour bill.

Thanks, I'll look into that. It is getting on a bit age wise, but has only done 33'000.
