Removing passenger side footwell speaker

Behr is what was fitted to the series 3 Spiders, and the set-up where the top screw is covered is how they came. If anything, it's evidence that the speaker and A/C are unmolested... That also means that you are in for a frustrating time, but believe me, you can get the screw out... It's a royal PITA, and it's been a long time since I've done it, but it does come out. I don't recall using anything too special, beyond a mini tool with an offset to access the screw. Then I know I pried the A/C unit just a tiny bit with something like a very long heavy screwdriver, and pulled the screw out. Of course you could dismount the A/C, but I didn't have to... When you go to fit new speakers, you will need to make sure that the speaker grilles are very thin, or the one on the passenger side won't fit...

Best regards,

Hooligan,
You may have to hack up the speaker cover with a knife to get it off. Maybe cut into towards the screw hole so the the corner snaps off, then you can remove the cover and maybe get needle nose pliers on the end of the screw and slowly back it out.

But don't worry, there are a pair of new covers on ebay: eBay Motors: NOS Alfa Romeo Factory Speaker Grille Pair (item 290198250510 end time Jan-20-08 17:05:46 PST)

I just bought a pair from the same guy to use for rear speakers that are going in this spring. I was lucky when I did my carpet job as the front speakers were added by my Father-in-Law after he bought the car brand new. The stereo install shop left out the upper left screw on the Pioneer covers they installed. I also replaced those front covers with Alfa ones this summer and left the screw out of the upper left corner on the passenger side.
