How do I fix a sagging overhead console???

Hello all. I have an 01 Ex Limited 4x4 7.3 (My '99 F250 was stolen 2 weeks ago so I bought the Ex) with overhead console (TV, temp/fuel meter, compartments, etc) that is sagging slightly on the passenger side which makes a rubbing noise at times that drives me nuts. What attaches this thing to the ceiling and how can I tighten it up??? Thanks, Jake

I actually just "snaps" into place. Try pushing it up or even banging it with your palm to reseat it. Well wait...first pull it down so that you can see how it attaches then go from there. The push tab may be broken.

There are NO screws or anything that hold it on.

There's actually one in either the sunglasses compartment or the garage door opener part. Unless of course, if I've been taking that screw out for no reason whenever I had to pull the console.
