I've never tried, but I'd guess you'd have to use some pliers to twist the locking rings off the posts.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi folks I have a 1999 996 and doing a tidy up of the leather on the door card. How do you remove the speaker grill circular clips and also the pocket lid? Many thanks

POST 2Original post

re: speaker grills. I've never tried, but I'd guess you'd have to use some pliers to twist the locking rings off the posts. re: the pocket lid. If you open the lid, you'll find there are some small screws underneath. They are a little fiddly, but not too hard to remove.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks I was thinking of snipping the retaining washers on the speaker grill so as not to snap the post?! I was going to take the door pocket lid out in full but will try the screws!
