^ Why is anything more expensive when a professional does it? If you can do it, then do it. If you need help, you pay more. You don't pay someone for what they do, you pay them for what they know.

I can see in the top photo that the retainer is touching the plastic housing.
Tighten down the projector more and trim more plastic, then you should be able to use the proper screws that came with the projectors.
This makes sense.... The thin rubber gasket made the projector loose still once tighened completely. I re threaded the washer on both of them for about 10 mins a side while watching TV making sure they were COMPLETELY smooth and did not snag up while threading on

It wasn't new off a dealer lot, was it?

MSRP is $22k or whatever it is, so my theory stands.
