Default Dented speaker grille

How do you remove the speaker grille from the speaker (Passenger Door), and can you 'pop' out a large dent in the grille. Thanks in advance.

You have to take the door panel off and if you look at the back side you will see that the speaker grill has about 7 tabs you have to unbend to pull it off. There might be a big stryofoam support piece covering part of it I can't remember for sure. Yes, should be fairly easy to push the dent out as long as there's no sharp crease.

I have also had luck "pulling" dents out from the front with small pick tools or threading fishing line through the holes. It is harded that popping from the back but access is way easier so you might want to consider before pulling the door apart. RPM speaks the harsh truth in that to get to the back side, the trim panel will have to be removed and then the tabs bent.

Good luck with the fix.
