My tweeter is blown and needs replacement. Any idea how to remove the tweeter on the door pillar (drivers side, L7 setup)?

you need to remove the door card then pull off the plastic trim covering the tweeter, make sure to disconect the battery before you disconect the airbag

can anyone tell or describe how to mount new tweeters? I read in this topic to remove the doorcard, and disconnecting an airbag. Then I get a little bit nervous doing this, without having a good description.

So any help is welcome.

Thanks for your help. This is really a lot clearer now.

I will be able to mount the new tweeters. Very curious about improvement of high tones.

Cheers,
