95_993

I am in search of the small plastic tweeter cover/grill on the upper door panel that is used on all non-hifi 993's. Willing to buy/pay shipping.

I finished the install of my Focal 165's this weekend, but one of the tabs broke off when I was snapping it back on. Call Sunset, but the plastic cover is only sold with the factory Nokia tweeter. Needless to say, I do not want to buy the part and throw the tweeter away for just cover/grill.

Not to highjack this thread but I need one also as I too broke one of the tabs.

I had the same exact thing happen to me! I was thinking to just leave a "stock look"...I guess that was a mistake. I found some Loctite glue at the hardware store that works on plastics / rubber. Slapped some of that on and so far so good.

Thanks for looking. PM the details if you have one.

Have you tried to use 2 part epoxy to glue the tab back on? I have had success with it in the past. Not specifically on tweeter tabs, but I have repaired various plastic items with the stuff.
I put the 2 parts on a scrap piece of cardboard, then use a tooth pick to mix and apply.

I found that a toothpick allows pretty good control of how much can be applied. I use the toothpick to shape/position the glue.

I might try glueing if I still had the broken tab,.

Honestly though, it takes a lot of pressure because the Focal tweeter is crammed in pretty tight. Don't think glue would work.

When I glued mine, I actually used glue and two sided tape to secure the tweeter to the door panel. Then I put the tweeter cover over it, and then glued the cover to the door panel. I had to cut out some of the plastic in the cover to get my tweeter to fit in the old cover so it wouldn't be jammed in there. Clearly not ideal, but so far so good and its been 3 months.

Ran a search on this since I recently broke a tab on my tweeter cover also. My solution: Flatten the 4 metal rivets that hold the metal base-plate onto the door panel with a ball peen hammer and backing block, they interfered with the new Polk tweeters installed in the covers. Then line up the tweeter cover over the hole, drill a very small pilot hole going through the small rectangular openings that held the broke tabs into the now flattened sections of the tweeter cover where the tabs broke off. This will be done from the back side of the door panel. Carefully run a flat headed self tapping screw into holes and gently snug them down, DO NOT over tighten. A little patience and a steady hand will save a call to Sunset.
