so you have perfectly intact genuine speaker grills and you need to remove them

after X number of years they are just not coming off without damage to them or the door panel

so if you remove the door panel, you will see the mounting screws sticking through

use a pair of pliers on their threads to unscrew them, a few turns on each one at a time, as these screws are still behind the grills
unscrew them as far as you can and the speaker / grill will gently pull out, it might need a gentle coaxing to get it off the vinyl.

once fully removed, hold the speaker and unscrew the grill :thumbup:

hopefully will help someone , someday
cheers

a small but vital detail, especially to preserve these hen's teeth grills! :beerchug:

Apologies in advance for the ignorance, but do they all unscrew? I thought that some of the later models just clicked on. A good method for removing those (unless I'm totally out to lunch, always a possibility) would be great.

Later years are ‘pop offs’ but still, easier to deal with once the speaker is dismounted.

Problem is that all of the grills are on their last insertion cycle.
