Anyone want to pull their A-pillar panels for me (b&o)?

I pulled my A-pillars today to CLD my roof. When I pulled the passenger side, the tweeter literally fell onto the dash. Driver side was also loose as all get out. I want to see how yours are installed. Glue, a cap over the back, pressed fit to the grill?? There is no way those plastic fingers are all that's supposed to be holding them in place.

So if anyone is feeling generous over the next day or two, I'd really appreciate a description of what you saw or some pics.

They just snap in.
Thank you. I played around with it for a minute and think I found the correct position they are supposed to be mounted. Still too loose for my liking.

I started my sound deadening treatment because something recently started causing me to become really fatigued after a couple hours driving. I guess the tweeters vibrated loose and are one of the sources of my fatigue. I wonder if anyone else is having similar issues?

I had to shave a little plastic nub off the tweeter housings to get the tweeters to sit flush, and then hot glued them to the clips and alignment tabs to hold them in place. Given how loose both were and how flexible the alignment tabs had become, I don't think they were seated correctly during assembly and had been moving since day one.

Note: the grill for the tweeters is welded to the a-pillar by only a couple posts. It can vibrate against the a-pillar around the edges. I recommend a bit of thin, foam, double sided tape (like the type for hanging posters) between the grill and a-pillar for piece of mind.
