anyone have a set sitting around that they want to sell? I only need a driverside but if someone wants to sell both I might buy them from the right price.

I thought that mine were broken too because they seemed to turn and almost "pop" but it just took
about 100 turns to get them too move. One was brand new and it still did this. But, maybe yours is really broken.

I'm pretty sure it's either just all the way off the screw or it popped off the mount...
either way I'm almost certain you can fix it by turning the adjustment screw the other way while holding the moving part against it, does that make sense? You're just trying to get the screw threaded back in and going again, is all.

One of mine is the same way. You could go McGyver on that thing, but it would entail
some crazy dremel work or separation of the housing. Luckily mine is pointed perfectly despite being broken.
