Today i came back home and i saw one of my k140 woofers dust cap with a nice dent... Damn! I try to suck it out with no success! The problem is that i have already change this dust cap with the aftermarket 4" and 1/8 so i dont know what to do with the next aftermarket 4" 1/8 dustcap... Any ideas? The only good thing is that i didn't add much glue when i add the dustcap so maybe this will help some..

I have changed an E140's dustcap and have posted the procedure. See the following link.

I'd just leave it unless it can be determined that whatever caused it to be pushed in wouldn't happen again.

A pin or paperclip shaped into an L can be inserted through a small hole to gently shape it back to normal from the inside, IF a loop of tape doesn't work. A tiny dab of epoxy can seal it back up.
