Dash Speaker access

[Mark Woodland]

Greetings listers,
Once again I could use some advice, before I start to break things...
I'm trying to access the (intermittant) connections on the left, dash top
speaker.

Plan A: Left dash speaker grill is detached along right edge, but feeling
like
its ready to break before coming loose at the left edge...  what's the
secret?

Plan B: With the lower dash panel already removed, I can see the
connections through the left end of the dash, with the door open.
I just can't reach them, unless I pop out the left front dash vent. I've
pulled,
wiggled, pried, etc, and feel that its (also) ready to break...any ideas?

I'm ready to go the path of least resistance, and the path least likely to
break parts..
Many thanks in advance you your advice and hard-won experience,
which probably included breaking one of the above to get that information...
All the best,
Mark
