i took them out fine when i broke my mk3, mesh is just clipped in, comes out with a little persuasion, an if i remember correctly its just one screw holding the speaker/tweeter in (maybe 2?). no need to remove the windscreen.
more difficult fitting a replacement if your fitting something different an need to modify it at all, but can be done.

no screws at all! they need twisting with a lot of force.

na, mine were tweeter pods too, no screws just a hefty twist in one direction and they popped out, anti clockwise I think.
