If it's only a rattling wire, and the glue hasn't disintegrated into a corrosive substance and corroded the wire, this is what you can do:
Either buy a bit of rubber cement, or a special contact cement for plastic, prepare a piece of thin cardboard and a piece of thin polethylene plastic (plastic bag) with the same length as the loose wire, and a flat strip of iron - sheet or solid, or a steel measuring rod (?).
Then you slightly push the loose wire to the side (1mm) along its 'free' length, then take a small, stiff (and cheap) paint brush and put a bit of rubber cement on it, and draw a narrow and thin line of glue on the middle line between the magnet strips. Draw your brush always parallel to the wire, so you don't stretch the wire, or, in the U-turns, be careful, use slight movements with low force.
Where the loose wire is close to the still attached part, you try to brush a bit around and underneath the wire.
Lay the wire back on the middle line line. Don't stretch the wire! Some parts may have a slight S-shape, keep these relatively short. They don't do much harm. Maggies even come with such small misalignements from the factory...
Lay a piece of thin plastic on top of the glued area, put the card board on top, then lay the steel on it, to press fit the wire to the diaphragm. Wait half a day, and lift the steel, cardboard and specially the plastic foil slowly and carefully.
Obviously you have to strip-tease your Maggie before. It's maybe work for 2-3 hours plus waiting time.
