Ever since I got the radio installed in the Beetle, there was this vibration coming from the speaker grill any time the volume was turned up. Took out the grill today and determined that the vibration sound was the wire mesh that sits between the speaker grill and the speaker. At some point in Mabel’s life, some body had installed a piece of vinyl between the speaker grill and the opening for the speaker to keep air from coming through, so I removed that and secured the wire mesh with double sided tape…no more vibration and with the vinyl removed, it sounds so much better.
