Need some advice on slide ceiling trim
Question for GD or anyone with a suggestion.
In my Momentum 348 above the 4 recliners in the door side slide there is a half circle wood piece that the LED lights mount to and is screwed to the slide out ceiling. My issue is that is keeps dropping down, I have screwed all the screws back in and it will raise back up, but over a day or so it slowly drops back down, even not moving. It is not falling off the ceiling yet, but looks like it will at some point, I marked with arrows the main places it is sagging, very pronounced in the center though. Any suggestion on how to secure it to the ceiling of the slid out, how thick is the ceiling? I was thinking maybe some type of wall anchor, maybe an expanding type or something like that, but want to be careful not to go though the ceiling. Figured I would thought I would try and pick your collective brains/experience.

The screws hold well in the wood soffet but are pulling out of the ceiling itself underneath, out of about 12 screws looks like about 3 are holding fairly firm but the weight of that and bouncing down the road are going to bring it down eventually you can tell. I havent pulled it yet to check the ceiling construction in the slide out, so not sure if there is a hollow space or it is solid, if hollow some type of anchor, maybe expanding, or if solid, thinking LCBoyers glue, and if stripped to much, toothpicks and glue. Not sure if Glue and toothpicks will hold it up there yet or not.
I didnt want to jump into it with something only to have it fall later and take a portion of the ceiling with it, appreciate all the suggestions.Bryan

Well, GD called me and emailed the blueprint for the sofa slide ceiling with the exact measurements for the studs, should be able to get a couple of screws into the studs and then glue and toothpicks or the screws just into the ceiling to keep them from backing out. That's my plan for now, thank you for the ideas, much appreciated.
