Door panel tweeter install in camaro

Oh yeah.. they do fit like complete ****. And if you look at the second picture closely, you'll see I had to jerry rig a piece of rubber to go trough the screw so the screw doesnt go trough the piece as you screw it in and try to make it somewhat tight. The plastic is SO thin, that the screw seat broke right off. So you can't mount the damn thing. For the money they ask, these things should be made of much thicker plastic and thought out better
I'm considering just drilling holes in my original sail panel covers. I think it'd be better.

The screw holes are NOT SUPPOSED to line up with the factory holes. Your tweeter would lose room. Doesn't anyone read what I write on these pages lol...

Product Description:
For all of you who like your stereo to perform as well as you car we offer the 6LE Tweeter Pods for your 1993-2002 Camaro or Firebird!
Designed to replace the stock ABS triangular piece on your door panel (where the mirrors bolt on) so that you can have great sound phasing from your aftermarket tweeters but with a factory look AND you can return it to stock if you ever need to (as opposed to cutting holes in your dash or door panels)!
To install, you simply unscrew your factory triangles (one phillips screw for each side), hold these in place, drill a hole (the same size as the hole the factory screw came out of but use a washer as our plastic gets thin there due to the molding process) through the recessed part of our pods seen here...
...and into the metal behind it (only if necessary, most models already have a hole here used by a guide plug on the factory piece) and mount using the factory screw you removed with a washer. Professional installation required.
These are made out of AUTOMOTIVE GRADE TEXTURED ABS so they are very similar to the stock piece you are replacing!!!
THE HOLES ARE CUT FOR A 1 3/4" TWEETER OR TWEETER MOUNT
They are designed to give you the most tweeter depth mounting space possible while still being able to close the door without modifying the a-pillar...
These are all HAND MADE (we pull the molds ourselves) to order in the USA so please allow 1-2 weeks for shipment, thanks!

I think the bigger issue is that the screw area is too thin to be able to tighten the screw enough to hold the piece on with it rattling off. Using a washer would make it look quite ugly, like mine do now. Maybe you could provide a stud that screws into the area behind it, and then you can just screw in a small screw into that. Hmm, I think I'm going to do that now....

Yeah... I think there would be a lot less pressure in that area. Less prone to crack like that. I'll try that on mine and see what happens. Although it's a little late for my pair.. they're both shot in that area and the screw goes right through. My screws are too short to put a washer on the outside unfortunately.
