Subject:awk! -- speakers sound great but....

Listmembers,

On the advice of someone's previous post to this list, I purchased a pair of
Kenwood KFC-1068S speakers to replace the stock speakers in the doors of my
1982 diesel Westfalia.  (In concert with the installation of an AIWA
stereo/CD/MP3 player).  I installed everything and put the doors back
together to discover that the speaker grilles now interfere with the turning
of the window handles!  As I sat there pondering this, a vague memory of
someone else on the list mentioning the interference problem came to me.  I
now assume the listmember who suggested the Kenwood speakers has power
windows.

My question then:  Can anyone suggest a work around short of replacing the
speakers.  One possible solution that came to me is to attach enough washers
underneath the screw on the window handle that it would raise it away from
the speaker grille.  Has anyone else solved this problem?
