Well, this is really unfortunate...
I'm parked on a very slight incline this morning, and open my door - only to have it come back on my leg while I'm getting out.
My knee catches the brunt of it, though it trapped my shin as well. Nice bruises from that. However - I heal, the car does not.
The door panel flexed, then I heard a "pop" sound. I looked down, and sure enough, the speaker grille had shattered. I was already late for work at this point, so I didn't bother grousing over it. I'm really not sure how the hell that popped out (it's cracked outwardly) simply because of a flex in the door material... Makes me wonder about structural integrity... :eek2:
Anybody know the replacement part number for this? I'm literally going to soil myself if the door assembly is one unit (suede, leather, trim, etc.). Has this happened to anyone else? I assume this wouldn't be covered by the warranty...
By the way - the grilles are plastic and VERY cheaply made, from the look of it. Thankfully they don't have any stupid emblem on the, (Bose) that would cost me an extra $50 for royalties (found that out in the Escalade).
