I have a pair of LS 50's and they are in great shape except for the front plastic grill portion outlining the cover. It appears that the plastic molded black plastic is actually blue plastic with a black vinyl streched over it. This vinyl has shrunk exposing this blue plastic background and it really does not look good. It does not look like an easy fix but I thought I would ask to see if anyone had any sugestions. Thanks, Jeff

    Same problem here on one of my LS90s. I just noticed it when moving recently. I can almost stretch it back to it original place but I'm not sure a glue would hold it and it would be a oneshot chance of using that method.

    I'll try a pic soon.

    Go to a place that services Polk speakers and see if you can purchase a replacement piece. I was able to obtain one about three years ago for one of my LS70's. Good luck!!
