I did this and mounted it again. I don't really understand it because you figure the more rubber under it the tighter the fit, but it did allow me to put it on tighter. I still need to use the little strap that came with it to ensure that the locking piece does not come undone. it seems to be very tight now. I can still move it up and down, but it requires a LOT of force.... it should be fixed... I will let you know how it goes over the next few days. It definately seems tight enough now that it won't move by itself again.
