My head unit sinks in at the right hand side. I've messed with case to no avail. Any solutions or is it a new case I need?

Can anyone recommend Door speakers?

Is there a trick to fitting (prevent vibration /distortion) or are they straight swaps?

What's the simplest way to get door cards off without damaging anything?

And finally the covers have got a bit off, do they pop out to paint easily?

Thanks!!

The cage and/or clips on the stereo need bending to get them to lock.

Tricky, they're quite large up front so anything decent has a high power requirement that needs an amp. Using the head unit, pretty much any aftermarket speaker will sound okay. I did have some fli speakers in mine. Cost 20 quid from a local factors. Sounded fine.

Distortion or a rattle? The first one needs you to closely match head unit to speaker. The second needs you to pad parts that can contact. Draft excluder strip is handy and cheap.

Carefully. Just undo all screws and the interior handles and it comes away easily.

Very easy. You can get them out of the door card using a flat head screwdriver; they're only placed in.

My speaker cover has gone a bit off as well, I guess you dont have to take the door card off then, just a screwdriver from the outside to remove the cover?

Very carefully you can pop it out. I suggest you go from the bottom of the grill to avoid visible marks.

Szkom, thank you!!

Think you've just re ordered my jobs to do list! I'll do the speaker matching later, I'll be happy to have the covers painted and the head unit straight!


Cheers!!
