Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
In this video we're replacing the driver's side tweeter speaker in a 2010 Volkswagen GTI. The passenger side will be the same. If you need any parts for your vehicle click in the link in the description and head over to 1AAuto.com. Take this trim piece off. Grab a flat blade plastic trim tool. We sell these at 1AAuto.com.
We're going to take this trim piece off. I'm going to grab a flat blade plastic trim tool. We sell these at 1AAuto.com. I'm just going to get underneath here and pry up. There we go. Then it slides forward. If any of the clips fall out, you can just push them back down. This one's going to be tightened a little bit. Just squish it with our fingers, push down.
Next we have these two fasteners we have to take out. They're a T30. We're going to use a driver because it's easier to get in there than a socket. Loosen them up all the way and I'm going to use the little magnet, be able to pull them out. There's another fastener under here. It's a T30 also. I'm going to take that out. Next we're going to pry this trim out. Pull it back. Pull it up. You can leave that right like that for right now.
Next we're going to take a trim tool. Pull out the door panel. There we go. We're going to pull up on the door panel. Pull out. Then this piece right here. You're going to pull on this little lever, just going to pull it right out. Then we're going to pull the two connections out, push down on the tab and it comes out. There's another one right here, push down on this connector and that tab and we're going to pull this connector out.
There's a tab right here. Push down on that tab and pull it out. Get the little pick in here and pull up on that. It pulls right out.
Next we're going to pull this connector. It's two little locks. Just push in the locks and pull it out, just like so. There's your tweeter speaker for your driver's door, same as the passenger door. We're going to reinstall this connector.
There's a groove right here. You have to line it up with the groove on the other side of the connector and snap it in. If this rubber grommet came off with this tweeter or these little clips came off, you're going to have to take them off to reinstall them. Line these up and push that on.
If any of these are on here when you go to put your door panel back on, you're going to want to take them off to install them to the door panel side. Like that. Install these. I'm going to, in that slot, just push it over. Connect the door lock connector. Connect the window switch connector. The mirror switch connector. Just slide it in and then this theft deterrent connector, plug that in.
To put this inner door latch cable on we're going to line this up on the front side and push down. You're going to push down until it locks in. You want to double check, make sure it works. We'll give it a try and it works. I'm going to slide the top part of the door panel into the window channel. It's all in. I'm going to line up these clips. Below we're going to install our T30 and these two go in right near the arm handle. It goes in there. Take this trim piece and I'm going to slide those two right in the grooves and line it up.
