Front door speakers.

Post by Andrew1980 »

Apologies if this has been asked before.

I ordered two replacement door speakers from Mr mr2 on eBay to replace my very buzzy ones. I fitted the passenger door one but could not get the drivers side door card off to access the speaker. It seems to be stuck around the door handle area. Any suggestions? Secondly when looking at the remaining replacement speaker I noticed that I have put the right speaker in the left side😠 does this make a difference as each time I take off trim I seem to ruin it more. Really don't want to have to start again

Thanks in advance

Andy

Door cards are identical in as far as attachments go. Often the window switch assembly can cause issues and tabs get broken. Keep trying and remember to lift bottom out then card up to remove.

Speakers should be identical so left of right is not a concern. Wiring it to head unit is unique to position.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, at least I dontbhave to remove the passenger card again. On the left side I was able to remove the trim behind the door pull handle and the plastic insert part that you grab to pull the door closed which is attached by plastic plug things. On the drivers side neither of these will budge. I have already caused damage to the door card insert and the soft plastic next to the door handle which has "censored" me off cos the interior of mine is pretty mint.

I am also hoping to tighten my hand brake cable in prep for an mot. Are there any posts for this as I could not find them. Someone said it was as simple as loosening some bolts and pulling the cable tight. I am trying to do more myself as have run out of cash for mechanics

Have a read of this article http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2.html ... kbartid=80 it's for the MK1 but the MK2 setup is pretty much the same
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
