Now that you're here because of my zaney title - here's the problem. Car is a 12/70 built 1971 Mach 1.

I have the door speakers with the 8-track option stock. The drinker's side speaker has always had this terrible rattle - it was the metal perforated metal speaker screen rattling against the plastic grille in the door card.

I recently removed the door panel with zero difficulty (thanks to other threads here - the best) and got the speaker out.

Turns out that the metal grille is separating from the fiber spacer - and the fiber spacer is separating from the metal speaker frame.

Does anyone have any experience as to which type of glue might be used to fix this? I'm certain both parts are glued together.

Here are some photos of the separation, and also some extra just showing the speaker and part numbers for reference here on this forum - for anyone who might look in the future. First photo is the metal grille separating from the fiber spacer, and the second one shows the fiber spacer separating from the metal frame. Where it's still glued, it's very firm still.

Thanks for the help on this one - and on prior things. Cheers!

(((PS - looking for one or two Door card grilles - I need the one with a single vertical bar! I can trade an NOS 72/73 piece that has the two vertical bars)))
