    Default How Do You Remove The Speaker Covers On a VS SIII ?

    I want to replace my old speakers with some new ones, but i can't seem to get the covers off to get to the speakers. On the drivers side, there is only 1 screw, and i took that out but then when i pull the cover, it is still holding on to something, it feels like it will snap if i pull it any harder.
    Do i need to take the whole door cover off? Or is there just a little clip or something that is holding it in there, am i just pulling at the wrong spot?

    Any help would be great!!!

    Thanks

    I would write one up, but I'm a slow typer and by the time I finish it 2 people would already have done it.

    As Follows:

    * Remove the screws along the bottom of the speaker pod

    * Remove the little bit of plastic in the centre of the door handle

    * Remove the 2 screws retaining the door handle and remove the door handle

    * Remove the air vents (still dont really know an easy way to do this... just pry with a flat blade screwdriver with a cloth over it so you don't scratch your trim)

    * Remove the screws retaining the air vent holder thingy and remove it.

    * Using a little piece of stiff wire with a tiny little hook on one end, pull the red tab on the door lock towards you and lift the lock off the control rod

    * Using either a rag and a lot of cuss words or a tool you can buy from supercheap for $10 to remove the window winders. If you peer behind the handle you will find that the winders are held on with a spring clip in the shape of the 'ohm' symbol. In my opinion it is 10,000 times easier to just go to supercheap and buy the window winder removal tool.

    * Unless I've forgotten something, you can now give the trim a firm pull and it will come away from the door.

    Sounds harder than it is just give it a try.
