Psych0matt Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Mine came off when it was in the blazer, just from being old, not abused. Is there any kind of glue that would work well? I'm fine without even having it on, but it just looks better. If I ever actually get it into the GTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=speaker+dust+cap Non-Chinese Matt, I've never heard those referred to as dust caps, screens, grills, covers. I was wondering if this was something to prevent dust from getting into the HU when I read this? Edited March 18, 2011 by Breakdown Screwed up the name.

white4d96 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) It stops dust from getting into the voice coil gap, thus, is a dust cap. Anyhoo, CA glue works quite well for this. Edited March 18, 2011 by white4d96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Wow, really? Isn't that the actual name for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yes, dust cap is the actual name for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliasCT Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 They sell glue for that sort of application... I think www.partsexpress.com sells it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I bet Permatex adhesive silicone would work too, if it's a poly cap on a poly cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpgtp Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 The correct adhesive will depend on material, if it is pressed paper use a rubberized ca glue. if its aluminum, LMK and ill send you the right stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I never actually ended up gluing it back on, it's bent and I don't think it will hold. Besides, this speaker is old, and still works fine as is, so I probably wont mess with it unless I get really really bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
