Well ;

In case my Brother's W126 ever gets new speakers that's good to know .

Alec : THANK YOU ! maybe I need to try inserting the cover at an angle per step # 2 .

Note than #4 says to hold the dashboard down a little bit, how to do this when the windshield prevents my fingers / screwdriver from reaching ? ...........

Maybe a brake spoon or other angled tip tool, I'll see what I can do and report back .

In any case, changing the actual speaker is dead easy ~ you just have to remember to lift the _inner_ edge of the speaker to unlock it , not the edge facing you .

No more buzz so I'm happy, I just get upset looking at the inner edge of the plastic grille standing proud by 9MM or so .
