Removing ambient strips in back doors

antah · 12-16-2017, 04:40 AM

Gents,

Hi everybody. Listen, i need your advice (photos would be much appreciated) on the way how can I remove ambient light doors stips inside my door maps and then place them back.

I bought back door maps with holes for twitters from Harman/Kardon, but seller supplier door maps without ambient light. I want to take strips off my door maps and place them into these "new ones".

Thank for any help.

Now that makes sense. First, OP, you didn't need to buy new panels. The original panels are marked where to drill holes for tweeters. If you search you'll find a thread here with many pictures showing exactly how to do the full job.
The ambient light strips are attached with plastic rivets that have to be ground off. There's at least one thread showing that process as well. To paraphrase the Good Book, 'Search and ye shall find'.
