Hi all

I recently bought a 65 plate E89 (35iS) and want to replace the door speakers (having already bought replacement speakers from Ali Express as per the chap on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQVyPZQuB9U" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQVyPZQuB9U ).

However, the door panel design on my car is different (with a grab handle as part of the door panel) and having removed all the visible screws (two T20 under door pull, one T30 at the bottom right and one T30 under the door handle), I am unable to pop the panel and it feels like there is another bolt somewhere.

I am unable to find anything on the web as all the references are for a different design.

Can anyone help??

Thanks in anticipation.

Mark J

Hi Mark,

If you don't get a response here, you could try posting on the zroadster.org forum. They are a very active group and really helpful.

Regards,

Richard
