Fabia Front Speakers

[Wiltz 8V]

Hi guys,

does anyone know what size the front door speakers are in the fabia?

And how much of a pain is it to get the front door trim off?

Cheers

Trim comes off by undoing the 3 torx bolts under the pocket - T20 I think they are, then removing the door handle (it sort of separates upward, once the two sections are off, three sizeable philips screws are exposed. Then there's another torx one behind the wingmirror adjust button (or the blanked off equivalent on the passenger side)

Then its a matter of unclipping the clips holding it on each side, and it pulls up out the window kind of area. Speakers I think are 13cm - I'm assuming this as I fitted this size when my speakers were uprated.

17cm speakers will fit with a spacer but watch out only about 60mm mounting depth inside the door.

Does the trim actually go back on properly. I can imagine that once off it will never be quite right and either be loose in places, missing fixing points or start to rattle somewhere that cannot be found. In short is it more trouble than it's worth?

I'm just asking cos it would be nice to 1. upgrade the front speakers or 2. just add some sound proofing in there to stop the stock ones vibrating so much.

The trim comes back on properly - at least by me, and I've taken it off more than 6 times so far...

Taken many a door pannel off before and as long as you dont loose anything (not that I have ever done that ) it will all go back in ok
