I purchased the mount in the GB in November. It has been on ever since. On my trip to Boston last night I noticed the car vibrated a lot more, well it made a lot more noise. It wouldn't really make any noise while driving, but really made a racket at idle.

I know, I know, I just said that I have had no problems with their mount when the Vendors were having a little scrum. But of course the next day I notice these problems.
Well I really knew something was wrong and it was getting worse, though I wanted to make sure I wasn't just going crazy. So I first retorqued both sides, still the same, slowly getting worse. Then I thought it would be a good idea to completely retorque the bolts by loosening them completely and retorqueing them. This is when I noticed the problem.
Showing where it came loose.
So if you have the mount and have an different noises, take a look. I think I was only a few days away from it actually breaking.
I am going to contact Darkstar but I don't want a replacement on this thing. Its not a very good design....
Edit: This isn't a smear thread on Medieval or Darkstar - Just a thread to let people know about it.
