Help! I have my Soundsticks mounted on my wall. Not too long ago, I bumped into my wall, and one of my Soundsticks fell off and hit my tiled floor.

Thankfully, everything still works as it should, though not quite perfectly.

The top two speakers have now become detached from the clear plastic clips that hold them in place inside the unit. The speakers sound fine, but they rattle when the bass hits, due to being loose.

Is there any way to repair them? The speakers only need to be pushed in place from the back to click into the stick and work again. Can the Soundstick be dismantled to try this? Any help would be appreciated so much!

Here is a picture to illustrate this dilemna.

I'm looking at my set of sounsticks and I would imagaine you could just pry the halves apart, then fix as necessary. It's worth a shot, anyways.
Good luck.

I also have the SoundSticks

Could be worst, you can buy the satellites as spare parts, but you can not buy the subwoofer as spare part, I can not understand it.

use a dremel or hacksaw to cut the casing down the seam. repair speakers as needed, and superglue the housing back together.
