Hello All
What can we do to prevent snow and dirt from entering the speaker grills,

Don't kick the door card with dirty snow covered shoes or boots!

Sorry to state the obvious and I'm mostly kidding with that statement but other then that there is not much that can be done. I try hard not to get hit that area but I'm not 100% perfect in that regard. I usually try to vacuum and clean the speaker grill a few times during the winter months and use a horse hair detailing brush to clean the speaker grill as best I can if it does get dirty. In the spring I spend more time doing a winter clean up on the car and will use a small pick to clean out any dirt stuck in the little holes while suction from my vac is applied.
 
You usually find that the perpetrator either doesn’t full open the door or starts to pull it shut before the hoof is in. A change of strategy might be required but in any case, that grille is designed to stop virtually all of the dirt and water going in.
