    Hello Frank – are you referring to part # 36 in the attached image? Or is there a different nut that you are referring to? I have tightened that nut, but I’ll look at it when I get home from work and make sure it is tight… Something is telling me (off the top of my head) that it is sitting on the outside of the plastic panel – and that I didn’t want to break the plastic panel, but that doesn’t seem to make any sense….

    That will be the first thing I check when I pull in my driveway in three hours…

    Thanks for the feedback!
