Default ml center dash speaker grill, rattles

the ml center dash speaker grill is a few mm loose on the left corner closer to the windshield. this makes it "knock" whenever i go over uneven cement roads or bad freeways with repetitive thumps. kinda annoying... for a lexus

how do i remove it and has anyone tried to "fit" these in better?

I've learned to deal with all the little noises, cracks and pops. A read in another thread that someone used hot glue at all corner of the speaker grill to keep it from making noise.
