The CD player has the clamp in the center and it can't be forced to go past the metal shell, so I doubt it will damage it and the pickup's lens is below the level of the tray, so I doubt that would be scratched. I don't think yanking it out would do anything to damage it, unless it was shifted violently to the side.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
