Again, this is a hobby sir. I've not been in a hurry to do it. I work on it when I feel like it. Until then, the factory radio was fine.

Bingo.

While I have your attention, I pulled the interior out of the hatch. Like many, I lost two of those white clips into no-mans land.

Is there a way to get into that back space to find these clips? Or can I pick those up somewhere?

But, the rear is gutted.

Also trying to find time for work, kids, wife and other responsibilities plus wrench time can be a challenge sometimes.

Bone, don't mind the little one in the back. He's just scared of what he don't understand.

Lol. By chance do you know how to retrieve those little white clips?

BoneZ · 09-18-2015, 10:23 PM

Well, a blast of 120psi air and the clip came flying out. Well, one of them anyway. I'm beginning to think that one that looks chewed up didn't have a clip to begin with. I fished my scope up there and I don't see it. I saw the other one.

They are a buck a piece up at the dealer. I'm going to run up and grab a few to have on hand.

Will you post the part number, just in case someone needs it in the future?

I am with you on this one Mr Thomas

It's not about the time or money it's about doing it yourself

I lost a few on my turbo install. I don't know where it went, just that they are gone.

That has to be the easiest door panel I've ever pulled off in my life.

BoneZ · 09-19-2015, 01:07 PM

Might make a difference.

BoneZ · 09-19-2015, 02:20 PM

Time to make the donuts... I mean door speaker adapters.

YzGyz · 09-19-2015, 03:28 PM

I know you already started but, I'm not a fan of those MDF spacers. The inside of the door is not exactly dry. It gets wet and humid in there. The MDF adsorbs a lot of moisture and break down with time.

I simply ripped the speaker part out of the original speaker. I kept the outside plastic part and mounted the new speaker to that. Just don't over tighten and you will be okay. It leaves a clean install and perfect fit.
