I’ve also had this many years ago, it is possible to pop it back out using a vacuüm cleaner. Please be very carefull .. and for the last few bits I used some sticky tape. This will not have a negative impact om the sound quality.

Scotch/3M double sided desk tape. Gently.
Vacuum cleaner that @Klout10 mentioned is another common option

Funny, but it apparently works.The Dyn rep(Otto) recommends trying that before any tape or a vacuum cleaner.

Yes joke aside
It’s only a dust cover.
I’ve known tweak geeks to cut away dust covers on drivers saying they sound less restricted without.

Tweeter fellatio is a time honored and tested solution.

Leave it. It will sound better.

Alas but it will have an effect of course it will particularly on the treble that’s like the whole surface.
Why do kids do this, we have all been through it!

It’s not “only a dust cover”. It’s the membrane that produces sound.
You should never use tape on it as you may remove some of the coating.
It’s been suggested by Dynaudio directly to use your mouth. I’ve used a vacuum cleaner before, but only at an angle and very carefully. A vacuum cleaner directly covering the dome is so powerful it could damage it.

You think I’m kidding, but I’m dead serious. I have restored some bashed tweeter cones in my day. I’m not proud.

I’ve also heard that one could use a little blue tack to pull it out…

I had the same thing happen with both tweeters many years ago. I found that the vacuum cleaner method worked really well - it was quick, and there was no visible damage afterwards.
As others have commented, the vacuum nozzle may clamp itself to the baffle when you get close and potentially do some damage, so the key is to to put something solid (e.g. a couple of chopsticks) on either side of the tweeter to preserve a small air gap. Good luck.

The round hairy-ended (steady now @Skeptikal !) nozzle for general dusting and stuff like soft upholstery worked well on my Dyn tweeter many years ago. As you say, just don’t let it ‘seal’.

Suck it out! Every Dynaudio fan remembers Otto famously saying that.
