Can I remove the surrounding hardware and expect to reasonably tighten whatever has come loose or is a purchase of the entire part that comprises this 'U latch' required? Thanks.

I tried removing and trying to repair it this afternoon. It doesn't seem like it's anything that can really be tightened or repaired. The part number is 51-24-7-233-909. I found it on ECS tuning and real OEM.com for $350. It includes the entire mechanism and mounting from what I see on the site.

If anyone has had any success repairing it, please post. Thanks.

Here's the link to the part.
