Interesting information. Got my doors also slammed by gusts of wind, but not to the point of breaking the stop - I'll be more careful from now on.

For the speaker, it's not that easy to remove. Those are hard metal rivets, takes a quality drill and you'll need to go at an angle because at some point the rivet will start spinning. Reason for rivets is safety, the speakers are heavy and can fly in a crash. Need to put back solid pins or rivets solid fit so it doesn't rattle. Behind the speaker there's a white sealing tape - has to go back in place because it seals the cabin from rain dripping inside the doors from outside window strips. But if you have the HU-613 or HU-650, just swap the head unit with the 800 series - find one from the same year and undo the battery while swapping. The high end speakers don't add much unless you crank the volume real high
