Default Lower Fairing vibrating

My lower fairing vent on just one side all of a sudden developed a vibration and is rattling. Very annoying. I looked briefly to see if anything was loose and did not see anything obvious. It appears to be loose just grabbing it and moving it compared to the other side but I cannot see what would be loose. Anyone have this issue and what did you do to fix it ?

Mine use to close by themselves when riding fast so I tightened the nuts so they stay open where I like them. Have you tried tightening the flapper(vent piece) nuts?

No I have not but I will look at that when I get home. Like I said I did not spend a lot of time looking closely at it yet. Just thought others might have had the same issue and could steer me right to the problem.

There's a serrated washer in there that could possibly wear out..Try tightening the nut 1st!
