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.
