Default Door card speaker grills/meshes.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if you can remove the meshes for the speakers in the door cards without damaging them on the P80 platform V70 cards. I have found some R door cards with damaged meshes I want to fit into my T5.

Thanks in advance!

I think they are fixed to the door card by the melted plastic lugs I think with a hot air gun they could easily be removed and swapped over

They are fixed with what looks like plastic nuts but they break if you try to undo them. You could fix the new grill inplace with a black sealant so that they can be removed if necessary.

The hot air gun makes them soft enough to remove and then use a solidering iron to plastic weld them back in place
