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

You should probably glue them back in the way they were.  It'll keep things 
from rattling after it's all together and will prevent you from having to 
mess with that stuff every time you replace your door seals.

For future reference, the way to remove those panels without destroying the 
vinyl is to use a heat gun along that edge and gently remove the flap.
