Bob, I had the same problem on my '84. I kept tightening the nut mentioned by others, and finally pulled out the stud! I ended up re-inserting it, drilling a hole through the base and through the stud, and putting a pin in to hold it. Worked great. (I'm cheap.)

Seems that while driving at 65 plus they tend to fold back in towards the doors and if it's windy they will pretty much fold in completely. Does anyone have any tips on keeping them in place? Thanks in advance. Bob= |
