As part of a sound upgrade I want to do on my wife's car, I need to replace the 3 speakers in the dashboard. The process looks straightforward, except I have anxiety regarding removing the grills in the dashboard.

Does anyone here have experience? Do I need a special tool? I saw someone in a similar video using a plastic flat thing. I am mostly worried about damaging the edges, or breaking a clip which means there is a forever rattle!

TIA for advice.

Just use something like this.

My wife's B8 was pretty straightforward, just take your time and put all the pieces you take off to the side carefully.It's also worth putting towels or microfibre cloths over the surfaces you will work on top of to stop them getting scratched.

Thanks, I'll go and grab one of those. Hopefully, these speakers make the sound system livable. I literally haven't heard anything as bad in a car since I was a kid.
