Front speakers

From : willywanka

Q: 1999 ram 1500 quadcab with infinity system. a while ago i replaced the factory strereo with an aftermarket one. i also replaced the two door panel speakers and the two in the rear door panels. now i want to replace the tweeters that are in the windshield posts. how do i get the old ones out it looks like the rubber molding holds in the trim panel. i want some advice before i start. dave -- life isnt a destination but a journey. make the time to stop along the way. .

the a pillar moldings are just held in with tension clips. use a trim stick to pry the molding away and pull with your fingers... be gentle though the plastic tabs can break quite easily. chryco service manager member sae 1999 ram 1500 quadcab with infinity system. a while ago i replaced the factory strereo with an aftermarket one. i also replaced the two door panel speakers and the two in the rear door panels. now i want to replace the tweeters that are in the windshield posts. how do i get the old ones out it looks like the rubber molding holds in the trim panel. i want some advice before i start. dave -- life isnt a destination but a journey. make the time to stop along the way. .
