Loose screw under vinyl flooring
Our 2014 Jayflight 22FB has a screw loose; namely, one under the vinyl flooring. It's not broken theough but looks like it would like to. Any idea how to fix it without disturbing the vinyl too much? ...

Cut the vinyl in a very small "X", over the screw. Remove it or glue it in where it should be. Fill any indentation in the floor surface. Either buy seam sealer at the big box store or, as a last resort, use clear nail polish to adhere the edges of the "X" cut.
I have, successfully, sometimes, been able to drive a fastener back down from the top with a drift and a small chip of wood. I've also had to pull up a whole new floor because of popping screws. Good luck with your vinyl problem.
BTW, most screw problems on subflooring happen when a screw head separates from the threaded shaft. That is caused by too much torque from the installer.
