Had a little accident when entering the car..

I had a little "accident" when entering the car a bit too fast today. I put my knee in the grill on top of the tweeter in the corner of the window. I didnt hurt the tweeter itself, but the grille was pressed inwards maybe half a centimetre. Can I get to this from inside somehow and press it outwards? Any tips would be appreciated.

You must have been doing a dance to put your knee that far up!

That quarter section just prises off. Use a plastic trim removal tool.

Yeah I think I was in too much of a hurry. Hungry with a smoking hot bag of McDonalds goodies

So it comes loose easily you say, is there a special technique to it or do I start prying just about anywhere?

I had the exact same thing except the dealership did it. Anyway, it's really easy to remove, I just used my fingers to push/pry it out (from the vertical part), then you gotta use a screwdriver to pry the speaker off the grill part and I think unscrew some screws.

Btw, I think that it's a really stupid design to put something relatively fragile in a 'high traffic' area.
