does any one know how to get the door locks back in? cant seem to get mine working properly

there is a little metallic rod that comes up through the opening where the locks belong just sloowly slide your lock over the rod and you should feel it slide down then when it is as far as it can go just pust in the red bit and badda bing badda boom. sounds complicated but once you've changed your speakers enough times it is like second nature lol. best of luck

If you've tried using this guide and you still cant get it on, i suggest looking to see if the rod for the door lock is bent, or if you are actually getting the door trim on right, if the trim is out of place, you wont be able to get the lock on the rod, even though you can screw in the surround and what not, it wont stay on.

check those things and give it another go :)

Great work.

@ Ozzie

Thanks mate, I've got to change out the speakers in mine (too old and buggered). This thread was very helpful.

Again, thanks.

I just answered my own question. If you use a pair of side cutter and snip the clip just in one spot it lets it expand just enough as you push it down it fits nice and snug. It holds it pretty tight as well.
