Remove Front Speaker Grills?
Well, I think I might have blown one of my front speakers (yea--blasting "Rolling Stones" too loud!! LOL). In any case, can anyone tell me how to remove the front speaker grills? Do they just "pop" off or do I need to remove body parts to get them off? Thanks

The speaker grill just pops off, is a small screwdriver to get to pop it off. I'm not sure what's required to remove the speaker. You might have to remove the side panel.

You have to remove TONS of stuff to replace the front speakers. Mirrors. Both side panels. Dash panel. Windshield. Top of cluster. Glovebox, etc.
Plan on a good 4 hours to replace front speakers.
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Just asking, please don't shoot the curious, are blown speakers covered under warranty.
I would guess not but that's a lot of tupperware to remove for a speaker.

They should be covered in my opinion. The speakers should have been chosen to handle anything you throw at them. They should be able to handle whatever max volume is.
If you're tearing down that far... I'd swap for some J&M or Polk speakers.
I'd certainly check with the dealer and see if warranty will cover the replacement.

Not sure if the following answers your question, but it's in the general area.

Thanks guys for your responses. I'm not too worried about replacing the OEM's under warranty. I'm wanting to upgrade the speakers anyways.

Popping them back on - I would put just a small DAB of liquid soap on the Tabs to assist …. after it dries it might actually help hold it on ….. I changed my speakers ( all four ) to JBL 2 ohm models ( fantastic sound & in-expensive too ) as I recall I got the front speakers out using a screw driver that had a spring extension ( it's much smaller than even a 1/4 " swivel ) that allowed it to bend a bit ….. got all four out with just removing the grills.
I unintentionally left the RT warm up in the Okanagan sunshine while the grill was shaded in the trunk. I inserted the bottom first and then the top corner. Then using a small plastic trim remover tool popped in the last leftmost corner. It’s not right, but nor is the grill on the left. So far it’s stayed on at highway speeds.
What JBL models did you use? What’s the popular Polk speaker?
I seem to ONLY have front speakers.
