Default Indented driver dust cap

My delightful 15 month old grandson has depressed the dust cap on one of my KLS3 midrange drivers.
Does anyone have any tips on how to pull it back out?

The easiest way is to use a short length of sellotape, wrapped sticky side out on your finger, touch onto the dome and gently pull it out.
Used this method many times on KLS3 bass and mid range cones. Unfortunately the gold domes used to attract them as well....

Thanks for your suggestion John. Others on another forum suggested applying suction. I found a tubular egg cup with a circumference that matched that of the dust cap. Placed it over the cap and with a sharp suck on the other end, the cap popped back out with no damage done.
