I have the same problem. I think this is a TL model, but I have not been able to find any information on how to correctly remove the end caps. I don’t want to scratch or break anything trying to pop the end caps off.

Thanks so much! I had a broken bit of plastic inside the tube after I left my speaker in my checked luggage and it got smashed around. I followed the instructions and managed to get it out, the speaker is purring again without the annoying ass rattle!! You're a legend my friend. TY
