Mavic Air 2 arm issue

[TATER2937]

Hello,

I am having an issue with one of my front arms. I noticed a clicking noise when I was folding/unfolding the arm. When I removed the cover I noticed that a piece of plastic that held the screw I took out was cracked and no longer holds the screw at the right height. I'm not sure it's something I can repair and just wanted some advice. Please see photo attached. The end of the tool I have is pointing out where the spot is.

Match the screw for that hole by the one on the opposite side of the aircraft.
The two screws that hold the detent mechanism in place are different from each other. Once you determine the needed screw, just put it in place and the clicking should go away.

So I have the screw. The issue is the small plastic piece that extends up into the detent mechanism has broken off. I assume I could get another screw of the same size just longer. Just need to find out what the screw size is and where I could find one.

 

[Starz]

The piece that is missing is to align and seat the detent mechanism. Probably just a longer screw would suffice. I can’t remember if that screw is a machine screw or coarse thread similar to a wood screw. I’ll check what I have.

 

[Starz]

Screws are not machine style. Both should be the same thread style.

 

[TATER2937]

Would you have one that is about twice the length of the original? Or know where to find one?

 

[Starz]

Picture of the one you have? And what is its’s length?
Plenty of screws here.
