Speaker Grille vibrates... how to fix? Hi,
I have managed to create a slight crack in my Camaro's front drivers side door speaker grille. Now if there is any base at all really, the grille produces a bad vibration sound. Is it possible to replace these... if so how (Do I need to remove the door card etc)?
Thanks,

The one's on my WS6 just pop right out. Their are about 4 clips holding the grill on so just pry the outside of the grill toward the center of the speaker and in should pop right out, at least it does on my car. You'll see the clips I'm talking about when you start prying it inwards.

Mine rattles a little too, it stops when you put pressure on it. I'm going to put one sided sticky foam insulation behind mine one of these days. I'm thinking the door panel needs to come off - one of the window motor replacement articles will show you how to remove the panel. Try http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html

The door speaker grill is apart of the door panel itself and cannot be removed seperately (well, you probably could break it off, but good luck getting it back together. lol). Applying foam weather stripping, as 2001NBMZ28 suggests, is probably your best bet to solve it.

actually i can pry mine right out and psuh them back in... i got the same bass problem as you do. i guess any sort of weather stripping or something inside it for insulation should technically resolve your problem

I've had both an LT1 set up (93-97) and a LS1 set up (98-02). The LT1's come out they are just clips. On the LS1's they are part of the door, and to remove them they will break and rattle.
On my LT1 I put a small piece of construction paper and glued it to the speaker grill cover itself. If you trim it to a small rectangle and wrap it around the clip you wont even see it. That builds up the clip and got rid of vibrations/rattles.
