Door Speaker Grill Cloth Replacement
Has anyone had experience replacing their door speaker grill cloth with material that is the same or close to OEM?

When I installed the MB Quarts I took the grills off and hosed them out. They are not perfect, but they are a lot better than before.
If yours are torn, that's another story.
Good luck

The speaker cloth and plastic frame backing are available from Toyota. I just ordered a couple to replace the ripped fronts...they're in the garage waiting for me  .

The cloth is stretched across a plastic frame/grille that snaps into the opening on the door panel.

I thought you had to remove the speaker cover from the INSIDE (i.e., remove the door panel) on the LX?

I don't know about the LX but you need to remove the door panel to gain access to the screws that hold the speaker 'grill' in place on the LC.

same thing on LX, must remove the door panels to get the grille off.

You do. I think they snap/screw in, but they are removable.
FWIW-getting the door panel off is a PITA. That little clip under the arm rest cover is a beotch.

Actually, the door panel does not have to be removed to replace the speaker grill.
Bought a replacement grill from Toyota ($41). By removing the 4 screws along the bottom edge of the panel, the 3 push in clips and the front/lower capped screw, there is enough room to gain access to the back of the speaker grill. It is secured with 4 Phillips screws (2 of which are longer than the other 2). It's a tight fit (at least with my big hands) but the job can be done with a stubby Phillips. Be careful not to damage the speaker itself.
