Default Rear speaker grill removal

Does anyone have tips on easily removing the “subwoofer” speaker grill behind the seats? I’ve had to remove them twice and struggled mightily both times, even breaking a couple of clips. There must be n easier way, but I can’t see it.

There are so many clips that even after breaking a few, it still clips in tight with no vibration. Live with it.

The problem isn’t breaking a few. It’s breaking a few each time. Eventually they run out.

You only break them when reinstalling. when removing the grill they just pop off. Sometimes they can slide around 5-10mm out of place on the part of the baffle they clip into if they are bit if loose . just bend the flanges on the clip a bit so they are tighter or just add a small bit of tape /felt tape/any tape on the part they slot into.
When reinstalling just make sure you line up the clip with the hole and push in gently, really only requires as much force as pushing the started button in the car really. then check the next hole for alignment etc. and work your way around the panel.
They only bust when you think it is aligned and it isn't and you try and thump them into place with your fist. You are then smashing them in metal next to the hole rather than into the hole itself. Helps if your are smaller and can twist yourself behind the seats to see the alignment otherwise get some small to help you
