Looks like I need that

Exactly what I was asking for. Crap, I'm missing that inside piece of chrome facing the inside. What part # is that??

Can someone take a few closeup pics of what the outer chrome under the window looks like and what it latches on to on the front doors?

Nope

I'm going to try to glue the rubber seal where the installer split it, I bought some 3M stuff that apparently people use on rubber belts that split. Then I will reattempt to install a used bottom trim piece, when I find it.

The seal works fine. Just use your old metal trim as the new metal trim doesn't fit.

Well my window installer absolutely hacked and destroyed my front bottom window gasket trying to get the window trim I ordered in. The top gasket that went around the whole window was fine. Now I think I need to ...

Thanks for the helpful info jdktchkov!

OK, I see, you can use those housings and get a nice 5.25 inch speaker in, I think I will go that route. Thanks!

This is what I am referring to. Would be a MAJOR upgrade if you could use them. I've got a small Fosgate amp mounted to the rear ...

The bigger premium housings? You mean aftermarket or can we fit bigger ones in?

Polk and Blaupunkt make some shallow 4x6's that are 50 watt RMS.

mjleamy,

So how did it go? I'm fixing my sunroof, my headliner and windows are out, again.

Anyone know how deep the 4x6 speakers can be to fit in the rear shelf and the front doors with the original speaker covers?

When you're in there, can you take pics of the wiring? I replaced my dash and am having a hell of a time figuring what goes where.

I would think so, as long as they are individually interchangeable pieces, and if yours is original German cluster with a MPH (US) speedometer then I think you have your answer.
