Because the speaker is mounted on the front side of the old frame, the only way it can come out is to be lifted from the front of the frame. However, on the basket of the speaker there are a few tabs that I was able to bend over a lip on the back of the old frame so that it keeps the speaker from moving forward. I've attached a picture to show what I mean. The silicone also serves as an adhesive, but its primary function is to create a good seal between the frame and the speaker.
