I was taking this off to install new speakers.
I have the peanut butter brown interior.
Where can I find this part?
Thanks!

Your Lucky, you can actully buy just the cover without the whole switch assembly, price is 13.86$ with the ClubLex discount at sewell.
Might want to call them up to have the part number that matches your colour however
there ya go

Sorry about the problem with the cover. Please tell us how to avoid the same problem when we change our speakers. Thanks.

I tried using a screw driver, apparently it was too big. A small flat head screwdriver with tape around it should work. I was wrestling to get it of and all of a sudden, the panel cracked. I tried to repair it with super glue, but that's unacceptable. I've order the part and they're on the way!

Parts arrived today! Notice the Clamp photo, this is what you have to be careful with, slide a small screwdriver underneath the lip of the plate and push hard on the clamp and lift slowly. The leather's flushed very well with the button plate.

Glad to see you got the part and made the repair. I'd add one caveat to your statement. Make sure you tape over the flat blade screwdriver to avoid damaging the leather.

Thanks for the tip. I am repairing my speakers this weekend and I appreciate this tip.

Seeing the panel with the clip saved mine when I removed it. Slow and pushing the clip got it out without issues. Thanks for this post.
And yes use a smaller taped screw driver so you do not stress out the plastic cover as Bob and gabelex mentioned.
