No, the Jbl's dont come  with there own. The original VW ones would cover the speakers as they are. Initially the speaker would go in from the outside and the original VW cover wud go over it...and the arms on the speaker grilles inner section would hold the speaker in place while the arms go thru into the door card and bolted from behind to hold the lot in. if that makes sense!?

this is wot it looks like!? wel, this is the broken one that i have which is one of the 2 broken ones i need to replace...can anyone else help???

is it not protected by the door card?

do you REALLY need them?

the later door cards with these speaker covers have a big hole in, so you need these covers.  unfortunatly they are discontinued at VW, so you'll have to scour ebay till you find some!  Either that or as said use the ones that came with the speakers.
