Dash Speaker Grill tabs broken? Here is how to fix it

Hello friends,

If you have the original GM speaker grills on your dash, and the tabs are broken like this:





I will show you how to attach these speaker grills to your dashboard without using any glue

Get a box of Snap Rings from Harbor Freight:



Use the ones that are closest to the size of the tabs, in my case 5/16

It will hold the grill strongly and you can remove it any time





Hope this works for you
