Normal OEM CD/radio player, no amplification. Just started rattling recently when volume is raised. How can I inspect the speaker that seems to be rattling? Does the grill come off or do I have to start disassembling the door panel? I don't know how do do either. Is there a set of instructions for dummies?

 

- 99 GMC Sierra

- passenger side, knee height, door speakers, appears to be two speakers behind the grill

 

Thanks for your help!

You're going to have to remove the door panel.....odds are your speaker is blown if it's a factory speaker. The door panel is really easy to remove....remove 2 fasteners (if I remember correctly) and slide it upwards.

Rumor has it that there are two screws holding on the armrest. (I'm researching this from the safety of my office, so cannot look in truck till after work). Are those the 2 fasteners you mean?

There's more than two.

 

There's at least three. One behind the lock slider, one behind the little triangular piece (front, lower part of each window), armrest, and sometimes one on the very bottom of the door.

 

Then you just lift the panel up and hold it there while you disconnect any wiring that's attached (like for lighting, seat heater buttons, window switches, etc).

Thanks for the update. I'm going to mess around with it this weekend if the rain eases up.
