yeah, but it is a BITCH to get to. :( is up inside the door, accessible only after you've taken off the door panels and vapor barrier plastic sheet. on the bottom of the vent wing pivot, there is a hidden-inside-the-door clamp, with a phillips-head screw. you have to tighten that screw.

the hard part is you have to have a tiny L-shaped screw driver (or one of those S-shaped ones from Sears), cause nothing else will reach up in there. :( and you'll likely need a mirror and a flashlight to even see the thing.

but it CAN be done. it'll take a while to find it and figure out how you can tighten it, but it can be done. good luck. joel
