    Dont know their design. If you can remove bolt(s) and separate the two moving surfaces. Slide a serrated washer in and tighten it back up. Those type of washers have "teeth" and they grip quite well. May get stainless serrated if possible.

    Are you talking the tube brackets with clamps on them? If it's moving it's not tight. Maybe replace the bolts on the clamps.

    If that doesn't help, I would just get some small stainless steel bolts (like #6) with lock nut. Drill a hole through the tube at the location you want and drop the bolt in to use it like a stop.

    It also has three bolts behind the cover on your door. Cover held on by one t25 torx bolt. Remove cover and inspect. Those bolts are t30. Tighten up good and wrench on the pivot point up top too. If still loose replace Hardware like the previous guys said.
