It appears there is a spring loaded ball or rod that is supposed to lock them in place place, both in the up and down position. The ball or rod looks like it is worn out and that is why it is not holding them tight when the notch lines up with it. Might just need some new ones.

That's only eight bucks. You can't fix something for eight bucks. What are you going to do with the other 92?

I never said they were.
If you read what I wrote you will find that I said beer and women were a good thing to spend your money on and everything else was a waste.

Glad it's going to be a simple fix for this noise because my winter upgrade plan is going to be somewhat costly.
