Just lever those clips off with a flatblade. Hot airgun the speaker grille mounts, also there's a big assed rivet around there somewhere too IIRC.

The rivet is the hardest bit. I think it is one of the speaker grille fastenings.

Done a few passenger side ones like in the pic - the speaker grille usually goes brittle over time (drivers doesn't), and replacing the upper section with the EL snipper delete. I think from memory I dremel that rivet off.
Just as well they aren't BA/BF ones - everything's heat welded together.

i ended up using a small flat screwdriver to break the edges off the speaker studs/clips. then used soldering iron to 'melt' some more onto/into speaker studs/clips. i made the mistake of doing the bottom speaker ones not the top.
yeah .. have a BF drivers to repair re handle...................

With a bit of practice you can plastic weld with a soldering iron.
Gunna need it with the BA/BF door trims.

Cheers

Those aluminium scrivets for the armrest mounts?
They need a special crimper - very hard to crimp otherwise. They can get loose over time, making it hard to remove the mounting screw, as they start to rotate too. IIRC I used plastic trim inserts, like the inside door handle mount. There are ones with a square base, file out the sheetmetal to suit, press in. And they never rotate with the screw

The scrivets are covered here: ford-technical-document-power-window-conversion-d21 down the bottom.
If the plastic insert is a snug fit(not super tight), the screw will expand it when done up.
