Rattle repair in both the speaker and the speaker grill.

I've had this issue for YEARS, and had thought I'd need to replace the speaker and that it would be a difficult job. Looks super easy, and I hadn't even condsidered repairing the speaker! I haven't been able to find an OEM speaker that's Harmon Kardon, for the premium sound system, and even the standard ones are $50+, so I'm eager to take a look at my speaker and see if reparing it is an option. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I have a W164 ML with the same issue. The center speaker would buzz/rattle when certain frequencies are played. I followed your video and it sounds great now! The surround was completely separated from both the cone and frame, so I cleaned the surround, and applied new glue. Also, the dust cap was not completely fixed to the cone, so I added a tiny amount of glue between the cap and cone. Thanks again!

Well if I would’ve known it was that easy, I would’ve done it when I bought my car a month ago! I saw that the speaker was expensive, so I’m glad it’ll likely be repairable and not completely blown.

Thank you Harrison. It's been a while now and the speaker still sounds great.

Thank you so much!! My grille was very difficult to remove... bastard was in there tight! I used the same adhesive you did.. I'm hoping it holds up over time!

How is your speaker doing? So far mine still sounds great. I'm starting to get a rattle in the grill but no issue with the speaker.

It's been over a month now and seems to be holding up just fine. Still sounds great. I think the heat of the sun just bakes away the glue off the speaker cone. Good luck!

I have a 16 e400 I believe I have a similar issue. The center speaker cover on front dash is totally different though. No videos on KZfaq of removal process. (Removing speaker will be similar process, it’s just the REMOVAL OF THE CENTER SPEAKER COVER I’m looking for)

That little center speaker is $150!? so typical of MB. My center grill looks different than yours, it's just a bunch of side to side slots & they appear to be fused to AC unit but hopefully not fingers crossed hoping same techniques will work thanks for share

Good luck, report back what you find. What year is your MB? Model?

There’s another video that shows you how to remove that grille. But just go 2nd slot from the bottom closest to the vents in front, 3rd horizontal slot over. There’s little clips in there. Lift them up, and push the whole cover forward and it will come off.

Is this speaker only for telephone or active at logic 7?

Gonna do the same thing now. I'll try silicone

Hi guys. This video helped me big time. But instead of fixing the rattling speaker with the superglue which goes hard and solid after time and might dry out not holding anymore I have used glue gun and carried a line all the way round the speaker paper rubbery rim. Glue gun did the job and no rattling whatsoever.

What size is this lil speaker. It can’t be a 3.5 as some sites say. I need to replace mines. Thanks

@dsriddle 5 жыл бұрын

I didn't measure it but 3.5" sounds about right. It was smaller than I imaged it would be based on the size of the grill cover.

I believe it's a 3.5" speaker. Mercedes part number 1698201802. You can find it online, even on Amazon... www.amazon.com/MERCEDES-BENZ-1698201802-GENUINE-INST-SPEAKER/dp/B01JP8M1YK
