Front door speaker grill removal???

[kwoody51]

Can the grill for the speaker in the front door be removed?

I have a rattle I’m trying to track down and feel like it’s from the grill.

Have found video for door panel removal but nothing on the speaker grill.

Thanks!

In not going to watch all of it again to see, but I think this will help you.

Thanks, but this is a model S.

They seem to be different as you can’t buy just a speaker grill for the 3 like you can for the S. At least not that I could determine through various searches.

Hence my question of how to do it or if it can be done?

Sorry, I didn't see anything in your post it was a 3.

Sorry, didn't put that in the post, should have.

It's for a 2020 stealth Model 3.

Sir, Actually when you access threads via the What's New toolbar click and look under unread threads we see stuff from every part of the TMC forum.

I'm pretty sure the door panel and speaker grill are "welded" plastic together, as in the posts of the grill fit into the door and they are then melted together. You can put foam tape around the inside edge of the grill to separate it from the door a little and it should stop that rattle.

Absolutely. And if you scroll back to the top of this page it’s in the “Model 3: Interior & Exterior” subsection.

Good to know!! Was going to give it a pull and see what happens but this tells me I would have gotten it and it would now be broken

Maybe will take in for service at some point. Just figured if it was easy to pull off I would try it myself.
