When I put it back I backed it up with a wood strip glued to the vent, if I remember correctly to stop it falling again.
With the way the wires are routed on mine the double sided tape stuff should hold it in place as nothings pulling on it. I would of liked to of used the metal plate under the insulation and had the magnet hold it if it was the magnetic type normally included with the pioneer radio. But with the aftermarket one the refurbish place used I had to do the tape route. I imagine gluing a strip of wood like you did will keep it from sliding anywhere.
