The main screw should be tight. Get a good fitting screwdriver and do it up as tight as you can by hand.

I don't do alot of country driving so I have a subaru sedan without a roo bar.

If/when I move out to the country I will definitely be changing over to a 4*4 ute with roo bars. 


But the winters coming,

And the snow will cover tracks,

And I'll be watching,

Because I'm hunting you

The big rigs have Moose bars-like AFD noted...but if ya hit a moose with your rig,chances are your STILL gonna get injured to some extent.
Deer are becoming a MAJOR problem now.(@ least they dont tend to decapitate you when ya hit 'em with your car!)
Davey!! You refer to "White Spirits".Up here we used to refer to NAPTHA as "White Fuel"

Hoadie is right with regards both Naptha and the moose thing. Deer thing back east is a problem which is why they are enlisting us rednecks with weapons to do a lil population control, by way of more tags. 
 
But out here on the Wet Coast of VI the deer have always been a problem in quantity, but as a big buck weighs maybe 80lbs, when you hit them with the car you buff the scratch outta your mirror and carry on. 
 
The caribou are a bit of a different story though

Here is silly ol me thinkin that kiwis &aussies are worldchampion bullsh*tters and along comes a "mountie" intent on showing us how its done!.What say you anzacs shall we give him a clap.
  our deer in kiwiland seriously avoid highways and cars,and definitely helicopters although it was not unknown for the occasional irate stag to attempt to square the ledger if caught with a netgun in the height of helicopter deer recovery.

No offence  intended friends,obviously I was mistaken .anyhow of interest what sort or deer are you talking about.from my TVviewing etc ifind it very interesting how well your wildlife has adapted to living so close to towns etc.
   Indeed here in NZ only rabbits and possums would do this.Anyhow again as my wisecrack has caused offence I apologise.Maimai

Don't worry about the crack, didn't offend me I grew up in an old skool military home so I don't take offence to easily, I was merly confused as to whether you were talking about me or Hoadie.
 
Well the coastal regions of British Columbia are pretty well segregated from the rest of the province, excluding the lower mainland.  So on the coast along with Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte's the deer are pretty inbred, which stunts their growth. 
So they breed like rabbits and are the size of an average greyhound, and if your lucky they weigh in about 40kgs.
 
Now the mule deer in the interior are a different story, along with the tales back east, they are much bigger and are becoming over populated, do to hunting conservation over the past decade.
that combined with the rapid rate provinces like Ontario are being developed, is forcing these larger deer into the urban areas.  This is a problem as the deer back east aren't used to the urban area's and quite frankly there are a lot of hippies and tree huggers live in this part of BC.

Not so much the case in Ontario
 
And in closing whats the difference between a Crack Dealer and a Hooker??????????

but as a big buck weighs maybe 80lbs
 
We have deer that weigh well over 250 lbs around here. They will seriously mess up a car. We had a lady killed on US 40 near my home when a buck came thru the windshield of her car and smashed her. Also, on the same road, just this week, someone hit & killed a good-sized black bear. Took 5 guys to lift the bear into a pickup. That's some serious road kill.

Hmmmmm,thats definitely a rating on the scary scale.Here in NZ periodically one hears of motor vehicle accidents involving domestic cattle wandering onto the road and being hit .in fact farmers can be done by police for allowing stock to wander.apart frm that its usually rabbits/opposums.
 Your problems up there are obviously of epic proportions.MaiMai
