After 6 years with the replacement speaker on hand I finally had the courage to take it out after watching your video. You really need to pull it out, it has more grip then you think. Don't be afraid. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to post this. The Harmon Kardon speakers in my '07 E 320 sound pretty tired and I've been wanting to replace them for awhile now.

Thanks for posting this, this speaker has been driving me crazy for 5 yrs!!

Here you go!! Thank you for taking the time to show how to remove the front grill, this video is very helpful!!!

Awesome... very helpful... and I've repaired speakers in the past with silicone so great to hear this may be possible. Regarding playing music to loud... not sure it's possible but I was in the front row of a Moby show at the House of Blues in San Diego and when he came out for the encore he cranked up the volume and to this day I believe my ears were bleading ;-)

More than likely if the speaker is just buzzing, all the speaker needs is to be tightened to the dash itself. The vibrations cause the screws to unthread and just the tiniest gap can cause huge amounts of rattling. Thank you for sharing!! I'm gonna head home and fix this in mine tonight!

Much appreciation, mine just started rattling. 06' E350.

Wow. Thanks man. I was prepared to take apart my dash then I found this video.

thank you so much, ive been looking everywhere how to get into it

Thank you for this! I needed to remove my front HVAC controller to replace it and your video is the only one showing how to remove the newer style w211 speaker grill vent piece. All other ones show the older style. I would have never known how to remove mine without this video!

i need to remove that grill but nime is w211 2005, this grill is merged with the AC control board. pls help if possible

thanks alot i needed this for my slk .

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you SOOOO much for showing this 😎

Thanks your video was very helpful

Thanks for the video it really help me to replace my speaker the dearlship wanted to charge me $350 to installed after I purchase the speaker that cost $180 plus tax the total cost would have been over $500 for a 10 min job.

Thanks JRT .. Let us know if you pull apart any more pc's on the car.. I have the same...BTW I fixed mine the same way as you.. Cheers

One thing that would really help me (I got the speaker out fine...) is how do you undo the clip holding the speaker to the wire?!

Thanks! Right what i needed!

Can I replace my 2004 W211 speaker grill with this cover (shown in this video)?

Hi, Do you know how to remove the interior wood trim ? Thx a lot

Thanks!! awesome. video center speaker ready trashed. :)

Thanks for the help video!

Nice work. I was dreading that $150 speaker

Hi mate, is it applicable to SLK200 R171? Should be same right?

@awesomeJRT , changing mine soon.. Having Harman Kardon system in my car, that speaker, will it be troublesome to change it and which do you recommend to change to?

Sweet, thanks man! What size speaker is that? 3 inch?

what size is the speaker?

Thank you so much!

My c43 has been rattling but when I press my finger on top of the speaker cover, it stops. Is that same problem u are having? I searched online on how to remove the cover so I can trouble shoot it Bc the dealer couldn’t fix it, I bought it to them 3times already. It seems like an easy fix if all it is is just the speaker vibrating against the cover.

Can you use this speaker grill with the pre facelifted car?

Thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing :-)

Still useful in 2019

Sweet, thank you sir.

Is this the same on a R171 (2005) if not can anyone shed some light??

Great video thx

Thank you sir!

Thank you ❤

If I haven’t purchased a replacement speaker, but don’t mind just getting sound from the door speakers as long as the rattling stops. Can I just remove the speaker once I take off the cover ?If so, how do I do it? Just cut the wire or something? Will it affect the other speakers if I simply remove or disable the dash speaker shown in the video? As I’m sure you can tell, i have very little experience working with cars or speakers, someone help!

There's a c/s button to left of grear shift knob can u go over all the,buttons and their purpose

Thanks

thanks for the help

This speaker is only for navigation voice, right ? Thx

Thanks man I got a 2008 E55 with that same plastic I mean a metal mesh grill

Life saver 5 years later😂

W211 Facelift Everything is reliable, exept the middle speaker.

This is for 05-08. Good video though!

Thanks ,need to remove the cover as it has hot chocolate in it, silly place to put the cup holders.

2:38

I have to wait 3 minute of the video to actually see what I came for

Just GET TO THE POINT next time....put the BS (0 to 2:40) at the end.

Good, but you talk too much. :-)

How about showing FIRST the tools, not just the shadows? Then you use the plastic tool and your hand is right in front of it. A lot of talking, very few and bad showing. Just ONE TIME working with professionals.

Talk faster

Thanks just saved three hundred dollars from this video

Thanks
