New Dash pad for 68 Cougar---Speaker holes plugged?

I am restoring a 68 Cougar XR7 I bought recently. The reproduction dash pad looks good except the holes in the speaker opening are all plugged up. Any advice out there please?

I though this was talked about before, but since your still waiting, I’ll give it a go. The foam from under side seems to have been in excess. I would try removing some until the holes appear. A angle grinder w/ a course sanding wheel works on foam quite well.
Hope this is what your dealing with, and this advice works.
