Re: [DML] Re: Replacing speakers and follow-up trim work.



I used a blade to cut on the very edge of the lip and with a little
heat (hairdryer), was able to pull the trim piece away without further
damage.  After installing my speakers, but before sealing everything
up with glue, etc...  I pushed it all back into place and put the
weatherstrip over it for a test drive, etc...   This was over 6 months
ago.  I haven't done anything else to secure it since, as it all
stayed in place nicely.  If the weatherstrip will cover your damage...
 you may just want to give it a try.
