Rubber woofer cone?

This may be a dumb question, but you'll have to forgive a novice in these matters.

On one of my Opera Platea speakers, the round rubber cone covering the center of the woofer has come unglued and is just sitting at the bottom of the enclosure, held there by the grill. I can't really detect any noticeable difference in the sound quality because of this, but my room is so acoustically weird that maybe I'm just overlooking it.

Anyway, how much of a problem is this? Should I
A. ignore it for now
B. try to glue it back on myself
C. try to get it serviced locally
D. send it to Opera (maybe impossible, certainly inconvenient)?

Thanks--

Very easy to do yourself.

Agree with Nsgarch, but I wouldn't bother to remove the woofer from the enclosure. I'd just lay the whole speaker down on it's back.

I'd contact Opera and double check on what type of glue to use. I don't know your speakers, but if the dustcap was designed to also add rigidity to the woofer when it's in motion, they may specify a "harder" glue than contact cement.
