WTB a tweeter ring and grille for the door panel on an S4. One of mine cracked last night.

Anyone have an extra lying around they want to sell? Thanks for the consideration.

You know you are going to get 5 different ways to repair the broken tweeter ring using things you can find in any kitchen.

yeah, well, i don't know where the grille disappeared to; it may have fallen out of the car. I am trying to avoid a temporary fix.

Well I found the grille and superglued the ring back together. We'll see how long it holds. I would still be interested in buying a tweeter trim ring if anyone has one.

I apologize. I have that project on my To Do list and haven't followed through. After some research, (I spoke to a machinist friend of mine) I still have to buy the raw materials to make the initial batch of test rings. Obviously some will fail to measure up but after the learning curve we figure we'll be OK (maybe ten sets until we get it right). I just haven't bought the aluminum stock from which we'll cut the rings. Been too busy trying to pay all the goons that hang around my back door wanting money. I'll get it done yet. My ring is superglued together (second time) and I am getting tired of it being like that.

Hi Ron when you get those rings made put me down for four. Mine are also being held together by super glue and it isn't pretty.

Reinforce the super glued ring by by placing dabs of glue about an inch apart circumferentially around the grill on the back side.

Surprisingly strong!

Yeah, I put a bunch of glue on the grille itself at points around the ring to integrate the 2 pieces. At least it will prevent another grille Sproinng! if it cracks again.

Thanks to Dozman who once again comes through in a pinch. I really, really appreciate it.

Are there speakers available that are the bomb and replace the stock ones easily? I need that ring too and wouldn't mind replacing the door speakers themselves.

I think the high end MB Quarts pretty much set the standard, although others may feel free to chime in.
