So... I may have pushed the grille a little too hard when trying to figure out why I am getting rattles... There is now kind of an inward dent (kind of smooth so can't see it that well) but it's bugging the crap out of me that the grilles are so easily bent...

Is there a way to easily remove the grille so I can push it back out from inside? Does anyone have any other suggestions? I read about using hot glue, but I really would like to stay away from using anything that might leave a mark. I tried a paper clip but the grille itself has some kind of black material behind it that I don't want to damage with the paper clip. I also tried putting tape and letting it settle and then pulling it outwards real quick, but to no avail. Any suggestions or advice?? Thanks

OKAY! Looks like it's fixed! I used a very very fine dental pick (http://media.emergencyessenti.netdna...grade__1_1.jpg) to go in through the holes and slowly pull outwards until the grille went back to its original shape! Thank God my pop is a dentist who suggested I use one of his picks to pull it out! I hope this helps other people with the same issue.

i should try this.. too lazy to pop out the door panel, which is only way to go behind that metal grille.
