dented speaker grill

im not sure how this happened, but i noticed this today. sorry for the crap phone pic. im suspecting that a kind neighbor who helped me push the car out of snow did this by accident.. damnit


you can see that the driver side door speaker near the window is dented

anyone know if the dealer can fix this for me? im going in tmr for sticky door handles anyway.

if not. any way of undenting this? DIY mybe? it looks like i can push it back out if i can remove it.

its such an eyesore.

Usually the grills will remove with a pokey thing like a dental pick, then you can push it out from the inside.

I'm wondering if the tweeter inside was disturbed by this too? I have no idea how close it sits to the grille.

this can probably be dented back out easily as others have said with a dental pick.

Silly question: where does one get a dental pick? Without robbing a dentists' office, that is.

It's a silly question, but I really want to know.
