Default How do I remove the speaker screen?

Well I did it. Climbing out of the car the other day and my boot creases the speaker screen. What's the best way to remove the screen so I can press it out?

You have to remove the entire door panel. The speaker screen is not removable. It is stapled to the door panel.

That is correct, the speaker grill is made on to the door panel.

The door panel is not difficult to remove at all, just be sure to carefully line up the white press in barbed alignment pins when you put the door panel back on so as not to break them.

You might be able to use hook or pick and insert it in some of the perforations and gently use it as a dent puller.

I would be very, very careful attempting to use a hook to pull on the screen as it would be very easy to distort / damage the screen. Just take the whole door panel off, it comes off in one piece and is a piece of cake to do in just a matter of minutes.
