Hi Everyone
I need to replace my driver's side speaker cover too (2006 coupe). . . is there a simple "how to" for the door card removal? The dealer where I bought the car has supplied the cover and three spring clips to hold it in place (£18.15 incl VAT) - seems an easier option than hot glue, and probably easier to remove next time.
Any guidance on door card removal would be appreciated - I understand there are two screws under the pull handle outer trim and one under the SRS badge - Smiddyboy1 mentions a screw near the tweeter. How is this accessed? And are the clips around the edge of thedoor card robust, or do they tend to break? If so, are they easily obtainable and easy to fit?
Thanks for the help,
 
From memory there is a torx screw near the door lock, pop the inner handle cover off and two torx screws under there. A torx screw under the SRS cover, then carefully pull off the triangle trim behind the door mirror.
Then lever the bottom of the door trim away from the door with a plastic wedge, and lift the panel upwards, unclip the door handle cable and unplug the wiring from the door control module.

The speaker cover plastic rivets should be carefully drilled off, then the new one fitted with the metal clips which can be put on with a 10mm 3/8 drive deep socket by hand :thumb:
