Default Center of Subwoofer dented

I know nothing about car stereo stuff. And i was given a set of 10" subwoofers from a friend. Now while i was out with another group of friends, some of them wanted to see them (i havent gotten the subs installed yet) and then one of the idiots pushed the dome looking thing in the center of the subwoofers and dented it. Now is there anyway to fix this and if not is that woofer now broken or anything?

Default Almost all of the stereo shops that I have visited have speakers like that.

It's not exactly broken, it's basically to keep junk from getting on the voice coil, hence "a dust cover".

You can try to gently place tape on it & pull out.

Default I heard once from a shop to use a vacume. Hell no I have never tried it.

I was cleaning my tweeter on my home system and accidentally pushed it too hard.

wouldn't duct tape destroy a tweeter? Residue, too strong, etc. Maybe electrical tape instead.

I did it once on one of my JL subs and it worked perfectly.
