How to Replace 1992 VW Jetta Front Door Speakers

The front door speakers on a 1992 Volkswagen Jetta are set inside the lower-left corner of each front door panel. Unlike many other vehicles, the entire door panel does not need to be removed to access the speaker; Volkswagen engineered a removable speaker grill that allows access to the speaker assembly. Each speaker is held in place with four steel screws and has a two-wire electrical connector attached to the rear side of the speaker that provides the electrical signal from the stereo.

Open the door and insert a flat-head screwdriver in between the speaker cover and the door panel. Pry around the circumference of the speaker cover until it pops loose. Note the alignment of the locking tabs on the speaker cover with the door panel. Set the speaker cover aside.
