Speaker falling out

[linux3]

I have 2 round speakers in the ceiling above the radio.
One speaker is coming lose and hanging down just a tad.
It's hanging down maybe 1/4 inch. That's enough that when I open a wall door it hits the speaker so it's getting worse. I don't see how to reattach a pulling out screw. I can't see any way to remove the speaker grill to get at the mounting hardware.

Suggestions?

If the speaker is the same as in our 23RB (which it probably is), The speaker grill/cover is removed by rotating and then prying it off to gain access to the mounting screws under the grill/cover.

Loosen and remove all 3-4 mounting screws in the ceiling and rotate the entire assembly a few degrees and screw back in. You will need an extra pair of hands to do that easily. Also, make sure that it isn't just a grill coming loose. Some screw on, some are friction or snap tab fit and others twist in a couple slots.

You win the prize. Just so except I didn't have to pry it off. Rotate and fall off. lol

I tightened the 6 screws but they don't anchor into much of anything.

Factory uses drivers to assemble not hand tools so it's common for the screws to be overtightened.

As Dave noted, remove all screws, rotate the speaker a few degrees and install screws into the ceiling panel using a hand screw driver.
