    I have a faulty speaker in the driver's door of a 98 V70 and want to remove
    and replace it. It is mounted in a plastic frame. The frame is fastened to
    the door with one torx screw and two red plastic "screws" of some sort. I've
    removed the torx screw but am quite unable to remove the red plastic screws.
    The heads are slotted. I've turned them 90 degrees with the thought that
    they would release, but they don't. I've tryed some gentle prying but they
    still won't release. I am concerned that any additional force might break
    something. Am I missing something obvious? Can anyone tell me how to get
    these off? Any advice much appreciated.

    OK. I solved this riddle. I just gripped the screw with a pliers and they
    just pull out with a bit of pressure.

  3. According to the Heynes manual:

    "Undo the speaker retaining screw at the base, then turn the plastic
    fasteners either side through 90 degrees. Support the speaker, prise the
    plastic pegs either side out of the door"
