Default Removing HK speaker grills?

Sorry to bother you guys with something so trivial, but I did do an advanced search and couldnt come up with the answer. It seems I accidentally cracked the HK speaker grill in my driver side front door. It looks like theyre interchangeable with the rears, so Im thinking of just swapping them for now since Ill never really see the rear seat. But how do you remove the grills? It seems to me they should just come off and are likely just held in with plastic clips, but after applying some pressure to do so, I became uncomfortable as I didnt want to break anything. Can anyone please help me on this? Im eventually going to replace ALL of the speakers, but thats low on the list right now of this car as a project.

The grills have 3 or 4 fragile plastic clips, and the clips are also stapled to the door.
I just glued mine back on after i removed it.

Thank you sir. So I dont have to pull the entire door apart and can use a small, thin flathead screwdriver to pry them carefully? Do I have that right?

You should be able to do it without removing the panel. Removing the panel might make it easier but you need to remove the speaker too to access the grille. Either way, the plastic clips are brittle and might brake anyway. Glue is your friend
It might be a good idea to buy a used grille on ebay, they are cheap.
