Metal Mesh Speaker Grilles Installation Instructions Installation procedure 1. Each factory grille will need to be removed from the inner fairing by prying up on them. Start with your fingers, but if you must use a tool, use something with a 90° end, being extra careful not to scratch your inner fairing. 2. On the back of each stock grille, you will see a rubber gasket and 2 white clips. These gaskets and clips need to be removed from the factory grilles and re-installed on the KENWOOD grilles. 3. Once the gaskets and clips are installed onto the new grilles, simply press the new grilles back onto your inner fairing. NOTE: The factory clips in step 2 must be removed carefully. Using your thumbnails or a flat edge under each side, gently pry the 2 ends apart (see Fig 1.1) and pull up to release each clip from the stock grille. If you put a flat edge under one end only, the clip cannot release and could break. Fig 1.1 NOTE: On the back side of the grilles, you will see tabs that are part of the metal mesh which are folded over to secure the mesh to the plastic trim ring. Folding these tabs back up allows the ring and mesh to separate easily for paint etc. For custom applications, the metal mesh is thick enough that it should not warp during powder coating, polishing, chroming, or other similar processing.
