Have confirmed issue was as stated in previous replies, (center plastic speaker insert was separated from speaker). Completed removal / repair of speaker center and thought I provide additional photos showing removal process of speaker grill from dash pad. After removing the two 10mm bolts holding speaker in place, removed the speaker, used trim panel tool to gently puush fabric cover partly from speaker, and then noticed the speaker insert off speaker. Followed previous replies instructions, and glued plastic insert onto speaker, and glued fabric cover back into speaker and re-installed. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PROVIDED THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RESOLVING THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!! Photo shows Shows three tabs located on front speaker grill cover, that are pressed backwards to release from dash pad (used flat interior trim tool to depress
tabs noted by white arrows);
Photo shows additional tab located on right side that is pressed on to release (another tab is located on left side as well, not shown).

Hey Guys, i have searched but cant find any leads (tutorials) on how to remove and replace the centre dash speaker on the IS-F. the one that came with the car squeels alot (sounds like its about to go).
Any Help? Thank you in Advance!!
I had the same issue. Thought the speaker was blown it ended up being the cap only. Glad i found this post 👍
I took the Speaker out, it looks just like yours! The part is like a little Bottle Cap that just needs to be glued back on top of the Cone. But I can't get to it without taking the Membrane off. Has anybody taken one of these apart? Is there a way to remove the Membrane without having to rip it out?
THIS worked for me! Thanks you guys I’ve had the car for 2 years(is350) and never figured it out or had the money to invest in a replacement speaker! Just a little super glue and 2 tools to get the speaker out and back in and she’s good to go! I used a flathead to pop the speaker cover off the dash and then a wrench to undo the speaker from its mount. I had to rip the little net cover to get to the plastic bottle cap piece from the speaker and glue it back on but it works amazing now.
Guys whats the size of the dashboard speaker on the isf? i want to order a aftermarket speaker one, or does it have to be a mark levinson? i dont know how sound systems work can i just get any speaker thats the same size?
