We had water dripping from our roof speakers in the living room in the last rain we had. I can't figure out how to remove the speaker without damaging it. Has anyone done this? Also, how do the A/C vents come off? Thanks

Don't now about speakers, but ac vents just carefully pry off the ring which exposes 4 screws. While you have the vents off measure the depth of the duct compared to the height of the collar, most have either trimmed the collar down or left it off to improve air flow.

Danny,
Lets just say they are not easy!!!! on the larger side if you get your head flat against the ceiling you will see the tiniest slot to get a tiny flat blade screwdriver into. After that it takes a bit of force and the trim will pop off. It wasn't easy.

Thanks guys. I'll continue to scratch my head on the speaker. It's raining again and I'm hoping the chalking I did fixed our problem.

Don - When taking the A/C vents off I found the trim piece just barely fits over the vent. I use a flat screw driver to pry them off. The first time, the head went too far in and went under the actual vent, which is screwed in. With the screw driver just under the outer edge of the cover it should pop off fairly easily.

Check the rubber boot that slides over the coax for the roof Antena it has been known to come off causing a leak.

Exactly. The only leak I had was because the rubber boot popped off.

The antenna crank is very close to the speaker in my rig.

After it popped off the second time I secured the rubber boot with a cable tie and hasn't been a problem since.

Thanks all. Looks like I got the leak fixed with the chalking. We had just brought her back from the dealers in heavy rain. I think I got a bunch of wind driven rain in at the front cap seams. I did some pretty heavy chalking there and so far we're still dry inside. We got some pretty good rain happening now. I'll rest easy if we're still dry in the morning.
I had the antena boot leak on me in Our first year. I've. Got that pretty sealed.

Don
Also where ever the water is coming in won't necessarily drip in the same spot
