Speaker grille cloth replacement (1 Viewer)

[HotSoup]

My LX came with 2 missing, one torn and the other stained.

A little diy project that takes longer to take the door panels off than to do the replacement..

Supplies:
Speaker Grille Cloth
Scissors
Razor
Adhesive

1) Remove door panel

2) Unscrew speaker grille

3) Measure and cut cloth oversize

4) Spray Adhesive on REAR only. The factory Adhesive will leave a stain to go by

5) Align cloth noting orientation to panel. This just makes a cleaner more detail oriented install

6 ) Pull cloth tight and roll over edge while pressing into the glue to anchor.

7) Let glue set up for a few minutes then trim with Razor

8) Reinstall grille cover onto door panel and reinstall door panel

9) Enjoy the refresh!

ALL DONE!

Looks great. Where did you source the cloth? Looks like a great match for gray. Hoping they have something for the ivory interiors.

@HotSoup - looks great, and nicely documented.

You might try a Magic Eraser sponge on your door panel (adjacent to the speaker grille) to remove the black shoe marks.

I tried, didn't do much but it does look better

Super Clean with mix ratio 1:4 works well for me.

@katit recommended this fabric and has a similar "how-to" in his thread...it's real close to OEM (weave).

I got this Earth Yellow color and the Dark Khaki he got and recommended. This Earth Yellow looks like it could be a close match for my 4P3 Metallic Desert Bronze paint code so, at $15 it was worth buying two and choosing favorite once they get here. If you really wanted some flair, you could go with the Orange.
