Worked great! - my suggestions on use
I basically agree with the other reviewers; the product worked exceptionally well. My speakers were blown - the foam seals split all the way around on both speakers. The vibration was so bad I was afraid it was going to back screws out of the dash. After repair, the sound is excellent. It took most of the afternoon to (carefully) pull the door panels, clean away the old foam from the speakers, and install the new foam with 3 adhesive cure cycles. I definitely recommend finding the video (from 1aAuto) on removing the door panels. I am a mechanical engineer with a lifetime of messing with cars and lots of other equipment and yet would never have had the nerve to pry up hard enough to pop out the window switch unit without the reassurance of the video. Concerning the speaker repair: I wouldn't have hesitated to use lacquer thinner to soften the old glue but found isopropanol did the job fine after soaking about 5 minutes; just wet the old foam using a wash bottle or pipette and let it sit a bit. I used straight IPA; rubbing alcohol with 30-70% water will probably not work nearly as well. Their video shows use of a utility knife to scape the glue off the speaker frame. I didn't want to work with my hands that close to the paper cone and found a #17 chisel X-Acto blade to be perfect. The video says that the amount of glue applied in the original foam installation can vary. The factory installation on my speakers was very clean so I didn't have to scrape any glue off my paper cone. After cutting the old foam from the cone on my 1st speaker, I found on the 2nd one that I could slowly pull the foam outward with my fingers and it came away from the underside of the cone - no cutting or scraping required. You may try this on yours. Lastly, believe the video about which side of the foam goes up. Even after stretching the foam a bit, it will not fit the speaker cone dry. You have to stretch it bit-by-bit around the perimeter as shown while the glue gradually gets sticky enough to hold it in place. This is not difficult. You do have enough time. I couldn't bring myself to push a knife into the foam to push it into place as done in the video but a popsicle stick does the job. Once you have the foam bonded to the speaker cone, the rest is a piece of cake.

JBL Speaker Foam (FSK-7M-Toyota) Work Great
I ordered these "Toyota JBL Speaker Foam Edge Repair Replacement Kit, FSK-7M-Toyota" one night, they were shipped the next day, and I received them promptly a couple days later.I have a 2004 Toyota Tundra 4 Door Double Cab with JBL System, and replacing the speakers with new third party speakers would have been a pain due to the JBL Setup. I found these since I knew it was just the foam, but I had no clue how bad the previous foam had deteriorated. My two front 7 inch speakers were just as bad as the speaker in the Simply Speakers You Tube tutorial video in which it was not attached o the chassis at all. FYI, my front speakers are 7 inch JBL 86160-AF070 (6848 03304-F0131 FL).In the Simply Speakers Video, the rep makes it look really easy, and to an extent it is. What took me the most time was scraping and removing all the old foam, most time was spent removing it from the cone without damage to the cone. I was half asleep at the time of removing the old foam, so I did the actual gluing the next day which was a little messy, but easy. If you follow the video from Simply Speakers listed on YouTube you'll be fine. It took some constant pressing and setting when applying the glue and foam to the cone, but the rest was really simple. The thing I found the most painful was getting a little glue on my fingers causing my fingers to stick to the foam as I pressed, but I kept a bottle of alcohol next to me so I could quickly rub and wipe it off. This was probably caused by my adding too much glue in certain areas, but I didn't want to miss any space and have parts not glued.I followed Simply Speakers instructions and for each part glued I gave it about 30 minutes or more to dry before moving on to the next. I first glued each foam to the cone, waited 30 minutes, then glued the foam to the metal chassis, waited 30 minutes, and finally glued the gasket to the top of the foam over the chassis, and waited 30 minutes. After all the wait, I installed them back into my Tundra, turned on the stereo and it sounded great, well except now I notice my tweeters aren't sounding that great, but that's a different issue.Over all I'd definitely recommend these to any Do It Yourselfer who wants to fix their speakers for a fraction of the cost of new ones. It does take some time, but it's worth it in the end, and I feel I at least got some satisfaction out of the accomplishment.I'v also attached a few pictures: one showing the back of my speaker with part number, one of the deteriorated foam, one after scraping old foam, one of foam glued to the cone only, and last one of foam glued to chassis. I was a little excited, so forgot to take pictures up close for the gluing and final product as I just wanted to get them installed and lost track. The pictures of the gluing were from a video, but the video was mostly my hands in the way, so not worth uploading.

Made my stock speakers like new
I used these in my 2004 Toyota Tundra Double-Cab Limited with the factory JBL system. After 15 years, at some point recently I noticed my bass was crackling like crazy. I popped off the door panel and confirmed the foam had separated all the way around the speaker. At first I thought it was just one side but after fixing it with this kit I realized the other one was bad as well so I pulled it and replaced as well.Doing the replacement wasn't too bad. Just take your time. I used my Xacto knife to cut away the old stuff but I suppose a box cutter would do, just make sure to use a fresh blade. I really took my time making sure to scrape away everything but you probably don't need to be too thorough.I also probably used a bit too much of the adhesive, but I really wanted to make sure everything was sealed well. In the end I got a clean look anyway, giving time for the adhesive to cure between each step.It sounds great now and I've had a lot of fun blasting the bass, if for nothing else than just to prove to myself that the kit worked. And it does work... after some heavy use the past few weeks, it still sounds great, nothing has come loose or anything. It may even be more solid than the day it was made, but we'll see how it goes.
