How to replace sail panel speakers? I bought a new Monsoon 6.5 inch speaker for my passenger side sail panel. ($54.29 delivered)
Is there any tricks needed to remove/replace the speaker?
Does the entire plastic panel adjacent to the rear seat have to come out (I hope not)?
Thanks all.

Be careful when removing the grill. You may have to use a screw driver to release the clips if they dont give on their own.
Other than that, You'll need a 1/4" or 5/16" socket to loosen the screws holding the speaker in place.

My 6.5" speaker doesn't take up the entire hole in the sial panels.. I guess the hole is 6 and 3/4" ? The edge of the speaker (metal frame) hits the hole, but the holes where the screws go dont meet up with the car.. its just air behind it. Any suggestions?
