Default Reforming the dome over a speaker cone?

Any car panel-beaters on board.
You know thew ones. A large angular dent in a car body panel and you hand
over some cash and they say turn round a second/ walk round the block. Then
they kick the panel, but they know exactly which spot to kick.
Working speaker but the large perforation-type front grill kicked in or
dropped so it touched the cosmetic dome at the centre of the cone leaving a
number of depressions.
I tried heating with a hot air gun to maybe soften and sucking with a vacuum
cleaner hose - no good.
Tried some dabs of hot-melt in the dents, alowing to cool and pulling in
conjunction with 1 pound weight in some undeformed areas re-created the dome
and then lightly heated with hot air to remove the glue - but didn't cleanly
release and had to dust with toner powder to matt it out - but otherwise a
re-formed dome. Anyone been here before with better ideas. ?
Weights and vacuum cleaner ?
