jim205GTI 3 Posted November 9, 2006 As per title and description really bro wants upgrade on his door speakers but once the grille had been removed i discover that holding the speakers was these things.... they were were round like a screw but instead of having a place for the driver attachment it was a hole.............any ideas on removing them without damaging the panel try and post pic up later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil H 16 Posted November 9, 2006 sounds like they're rivetted ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted November 10, 2006 yep - sounds weird. they should be 'torx/stardrive' bits maybe someone has pop rivetted them in as suggested - ? (shonky!) - drill them out? pop rivetts are very soft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ren 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Yep they will be rivetted, most new cars are now for some strange reason. As said, drill them out, carefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted November 10, 2006 ah! i have just twigged that we're not dealing with a 205! (things were a little blurry at the time..) didn't realise that modern cars were rivetted together - seems rather impractical to be rivetting things like speakers in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paintguy 0 Posted November 10, 2006 didn't realise that modern cars were riveted together - seems rather impractical to be riveting things like speakers in It's getting more and more common, much to my dismay More common on French cars than anything else, and I guess it's to cut down production times - it's much quicker to pop in a rivet than turn a screw. Everything from door handles, speakers, window motors and mechanisms all get the rivet treatment. Saxo door handles are the worst. They're held in by 2 large rivets, in an almost inaccessible place. I've damaged many a freshly painted door whilst refitting them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazRallye 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Another reason as to why modern cars are s*it, no character and designed to be pretty much disposable, so if something fails its a pain in the arse to repair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
