How can you replace the dash speakers in your 98 Buick lesabre?

Answer 1

It’s a simple process.

You’ll need 1x med, 1x small flat tip, and 1x med sized Phillips along with an L shaped Phillips like the ones you use on doorknobs or a small ratchet with Phillips.

Standing outside the car look at each corner of the raised dash where the speakers are located.

You’ll see a small 2”x3” removable piece within the slotted grill with a slot to insert a small flat tipped screwdriver.

From inside the car it’s a little difficult to locate.

Insert the screwdriver and apply upward pressure.

I would recommend using a smaller flat tip to insert on the side while prying which should make it simple. These are held in place with plastic snaps.

If you have too much resistance taken your tip getting these off since they are plastic and age tends to make them brittle.

Once these are removed you’ll see a Phillips head screw which needs to be removed.

After removing both sides you can gently lift and pull on the raised dash.

It might take small wiggling motion but it will come out.

There is a sensor wire so be careful not to break the connection.

The speakers are now exposed and should be held in place with two Phillips head screws.

The one closest to the windscreen requires a bent tool or small ratchet wrench.

Remove them and you should be able to remove the speakers.

I think they are oval mounted on a square platform and measure 6 ¼” x 4 ½”.

Reassemble in the reverse order and be cautious when inserting the screws.

You don’t want one falling into the open dash!

While you have it off buy some small door weather-stripping and replace the current stuff, if it was like mine it fell apart.

Good luck.
