on a friends jeep, we had to drill the holes into the stick so that the **** would stay on... it was a cheap aftermarket ****, but its probly held on the same way as yours....


just get a bit SLIGHTLY too small, and drill thru, then let the set screw tap itself into the stick as you tighten it..


if you make the hole too big, the set screw will have nothign to set on and it will just keep screwing in..... and i would use some locktite on it.
