I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Coming home last Summer one of my Happy Trails paniers fell off and went tumbeling down the road. Fortunately I was on a back road going fairly slow but it still sustained quite a bit of damage. I hammered it out and remounted it only to discover the next month that the other one was also working loose. Fortunately I caught it before it was damaged as well. What is happening is that the top bolts that secure the mounting pucks are vibrating loose. The clamp or puck that holds the case to the upper part of the mounting frame comes loose and the case falls off. Any one have a fix for this? I'm thinking some sort of lock washer and teflon tape but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks
