Fisker Ocean VSP (Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians) block off plate to reduce water ingress

This is a video showing how to block off the Fisker Ocean right lower bumper Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) speaker grille. The open grille allows water and road debris in and may cause VSP failure and other electrical connector failure. Please see video by jcramosjr showing a VSP speaker box full of water: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ts7YncpFxbE and his video of an opened VSP box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn6vIqQ38kA for examples of failure.

I had previously written this up and done a video, but it was combined with another waterproofing topic and my technique has since changed. I am now doing a standalone video with modified technique which should be easier for most.

This mod is fairly easy, but does require getting into the right front bumper area, video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9oKoPA_hV8
