Remove door skin and pop off the clips from inside?  Worked for me on a mk3 at the scrappy recently  :wink:

youre not talking about the metal plate where the windor regulator etc and the speaker is attached to are you?

It's not riveted, the speakers are but the whole panel isn't.... Its probably about 12 bolts or so then two for the window clips.... Undo the loom and take it out....
