Great news - hope it works better than OEM. I have heard reports that the "second hole" was unthreaded - were you able to get the hold down tight??

I had to actually get a screw/bolt which was a bit longer than the stock one. Not sure why the stock bolt wouldn't fit but I had no issues once I found a longer bolt. I found it to be very secure and even pulled on it firmly to make sure it would not shift around.
