Not sure If anyone else has had this happen but one of the 2 new replacement tweeters I received from Polk earlier this year for my upgrades here is what happened when I was pushing on the terminal the tab snapped off of the tweeter the plastic piece it was attached to simply broke off so I super glued it back on. the tweeter works the electrical connection was not broken, but I wonder if it will affect the longevity and performance. Should I contact polk customer service or let it slide, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Very common. Extreme care must be used when disconnecting and re-connecting the lead wires. I hear the latest batch have been glued down. I've had to repair broken plastic, and tabs that snapped off.
