| Changing the speakers |

Note: The roadster only has a limited top-mount depth to use. This is around 58mm. If your speakers are deeper than this, the window will hit the back of the speaker when it is wound down, and will either smash the window or push out the inner door panel. There are 2 methods to remove the grille, I recommend the first to try to avoid snapped clips, but the second method works also. Method 1: Take a credit card (or similar) and slide down the back edge of the grille.
Once you have a gap, you can gently prise out the top clips by sliding the card upwards and across the top
Method 2:
Gently prise out the remaining clips from the side of the grille, pivot down on the bottom edge (shown) and remove.
Use a T20 Torx bit to remove the existing speaker from the door.
The roadster has an odd shape fitment for its speakers.
Connect up the speakers, and mount the crossovers securely in the door panel.
Loosely secure the speaker using 2 existing mounts, and drill a new hole for the new 3rd mount.
You can add a metal screw plate to the back of the door skin if you want to, this might help to keep the screws in tight, though this is not necessary.
Refit the grille by putting in the bottom first then clipping back into place.
