All I Want for My Birthday

Seth has been in an ongoing battle with our smoke detector for the past several months. For some reason he cannot get the cover to stay in place (see pictures). He fixes it, feels confident he figured out a way to make it stay on, and then wakes up the next morning to find that it has popped off again. What's even more annoying is that when he is lying in bed it is in his direct line of sight, so he'll fix it in the evening, go to bed, and then it is immediately in his face in the morning.



His most recent idea, which I thought was a sure thing, was to use velcro. So one day he confidently stuck on two pieces of velcro and we both though he had won the long-fought battle....only to see the next morning that the sticky part of the velcro was not strong enough for the might of the smoke detector cover.


Ahhh...back to squre one. If you have any suggestions please send them to me. I think getting this fixed would make for a great birthday present for Seth.
