Default Front Door Speaker Grill ? Removal on 997

I have a annoying rattle/buzz from the right front door woofer. Is there a way to remove that grill or do you have to remove the entire panel. I know its under warranty...nothing better to do till monday. It may be simple and save me a trip to the dealership. Obviously, if its removing an entire panel to get to the speaker....let them do it.

Well, Porsche is replacing the speaker...and yes you have to remove the entire panel. What happened to the days of only removing a simple grill and 4 screws for the speaker...man, times have changed.

On a semi-related note...does anyone know the sizes of all our speakers?

Hi,
Here is a picture of the door parts. I
looked for the speaker size but all I could find
was part numbers. I would check the link below
if you are thinking of upgrading the speakers. You
put your car in and they tell you what works for the car.

Yeah!
I looked on cructhfield and found the same no results.
I guess you will need to remove the grill (door trim)
to determine the speaker size.
