Status: offline 		I am having trouble with my radio crystal popping out...i've been having to push it back in with a screwdriver literally every 5-10 sec. Has anyone had this problem before? If so, what did you do to fix it? Thanks.

Status: offline 		I small shot of RTV sealer on each side of the crystal will help protect it from vibrations and give it a little adhesion. You can still pull them out as the silicone tears easily. BB

Status: offline 		woo! I managed to get it working earlier with some tinkering, I put a zip tie around the reviver with the head of another on it...if that makes any sense, well, it keeps the crystal nice n' snug. But I think I'll add some rtv to keep it safe from vibrations, thanks for the help guys.
