RE: <E28> How do you remove tweeters from door pods?

[Jeff Schnellinger <mvnsnd@xxxxxxx>]

Erick,

If the tweeters are anything like the E30's,  They are glued in from the =
rear.
 I used an x-acto to carve as much glue and plastic from the tweeter itse=
lf as
I could from the backside and save the pod. I also dug in some on the fro=
nt
side after removing the grille.  Then I just used a small screwdriver and=

pryed the tweeter out.  I also found out that some heat will help soften =
the
old glue.  Mine were sitting on the dash in the sun for a while and got w=
arm
and it made it much easier to pop them apart.

Regards,
