Removing speaker?

Greetings -- I have a quick question. I have a 2004, 268 Vista and I want to replace the starboard speaker (it quit working). Has anyone replaced this speaker? I've trying to pry it off, but didn't want to break the cover in case I needed it. Does the speaker cover just screw off/pull off? Any help would be appreciated.

Should be 4 screws

If you dont see mounting screws, they you likely have a pop on grill thats covering the screws. The grill may pop off with a flat blade in a slot on the bottom or it may need to to be rotated counter clock wise to release the holding tabs.

So...if you've got the same OEM no-name speakers as I do in my 2011 H200, the cheap plastic cover can only be removed by popping it off of the tabs. I used a flat blade screwdriver and one of them was on very tight and cracked when coming off. Thankfully I am replacing them so it wasn't a concern for me.

To take the grill off is quiet simple. First, take a small regular screwdriver and put it in the small cutout on the bottom of the speaker. Just pry it up enough to get your fingers under (one or two). Then while keeping your fingers under the grill, slide your hand clockwise around the grill. The speakers are secured by a "pop on" system. There are 4 points that they snap into place. You do have to be a little aggressive when sliding your fingers around to pull off. The grill will not break if you do it this way. To reinstall; just line up the 4 contacts and snap back on. FYI: If your cone (the circular white part) of the speaker is not attached to the backing this means it is blown. Meaning that if there is a crack or the seal is no longer there between the white cone and the back of the speaker I highly recommend you replace them. Water can get into the speaker because the watertight integrity is lost. Water can leak into the hole, or cavity of the space that is behind the speaker.
