Should have thought to ask Roger...my bad. I have a set of the dome tweeters and need a couple of the screw-on grilles Togo with them. Got a couple more, Rog?

Or, can you still buy them new?

The 89-95 years speaker grilles don't screw on - they clip on. The screw-on ones only went up to '88 MY (like the OP).

... and they're an absolute bastard to get off without breaking the the small projections that retain the grille. I managed to get mine off using spatulas and plastic levers ... but someone had been there before me and a couple were broken. Swearing helped a lot ... but what's the secret to getting them off?

Sorry to hijack .. but hopefully still relevant.

I didn't say they clip off..

I usually search carefully for the slight indent on the edges on each side, place two screw drivers in them, and gently break the buggers into several pieces. Works every time!

Next time apply heat around the edges - they melt uniformly and do not crack at all.

Roger:
Let me go get my head examined first, and pending confirmation that multiple screws are, indeed, loose...I'll probably breathe deep and order 2 screw-on tweeter grilles. Of course, maybe Santa monitors RL?

For those with broken grills, there's this old good thread I had stored in my filing system:

I read a thread a while back and found out that these are a good aftermarket replacement.
