I just checked my 2017 176, and sure enough, the undermount sink has fallen down. It appears that it was simply glued to the bottom of the counter below the sink opening with some kind of adhesive sealer. All it would have taken was 4 screws, one at each sink corner, with a fender washer to hold the rim of the sink in place. Or strips of wood screwed to the bottom of the counter that hold the sink rim in place. But they couldn't be bothered to do any of that. It's a bad design anyway, will be looking to top mount the sink. We have never used the insert anyway.

Projects take longer than expected, cost more than expected and will go wrong at the worst time.

Yep, bad design. But screws in the particle board won't hold anyway. Mounting from above is really the only secure way, and also minimizes water intrusion into the particle board.

If you want something done right, do it yourself.
