Be EXTREMELY careful when tightening any screws. Part of the plastic split on mine. I abandoned the idea and don't use it anymore.
Did you call Lonn at Thunder Products about the split plastic ?
I think he would be able to help you; perhaps replace the damaged part.
I honestly figured I'd just be told it was my fault and I was already so pissed off at the time I would not have remained calm, so I just didn't even try. I still don't know if it was just a cheap piece of crap part or if I wasn't gentle enough with it. I don't generally overtorque things but it is always possible. I probably should've tried but I'm sure it's FAR too late now. It's been years.
