Is the bracket secure? Does it rattle when holding the u-lock while riding?

It is pretty secure. But in very hot weather (+85F), the rubber strap inside the clamp gets a little squishy and starts to allow the lock to shift around. And yes, the lock does rattle. I recommend either taping down the key hole cover (open position) if it is bothering you. I used electrical tape.

The bracket itself is very secure. Mine doesn't rattle against the frame at all. Nor does the lock rattle in the bracket. The lock, however, does rattle. It's just the nature of the metal on metal locking mechanism.

The shackle does rattle on mine, don't think it is 1/8 inch, that sounds like a lot. Doesn't appear to be an issue on mine.

No it does not. In fact I just tried it, it doesn't rattle. The knife sit securely lock in place. In my opinion its a safe secure holster to transport the knife much better than the leather holster

I think he means secure as in secure from theft. I did read somewhere that there is an embedded nut on the light itself, so if you were to use some form of secure mount with what is probably a 1/4-20 thread bolt, then you can lock it in place. That's how I plan to attach mine, to a plate that is mounted under the handlebars and out of the way. Make it so that it's too much effort to steal.

I just shook mine and there was no rattle. Sorry but I suspect something is amis with yours.

Mine has a bit of a rattle as well, especially when the tension setting is low. It's typically the torque spring inside the barrel. I have been using mine for about a year and it works great.

Not "Securely". You might as well buy the bike mount. This clamp might work OK on smooth roads, anything off road and it would get knocked off.

Mine did not rattle. If it is a vigarous shake then it may just be part of the tourque displacement. But if it rattles with just regular movement most likely a defect and need to exchange it. Amazon has a great replacement program.

No. My son has ridden almost daily for 5 months. He's 12 and pretty hard on it. Not one rattle.

No. I have not heard it rattle at all. The way it fits onto my car's (Honda Fit) headrest is pretty tight so there is no room for it to move and rattle.

I did not notice that it rattled. It's quite snug. Almost the perfect amount of snug. It sits tightly, but releases easily when needed.

I have two of these mounts with one on a 32 inch in the front of the motorhome and a 20 inch in the bedroom and so far no issues with rattles or worrying about them coming out of the mount. Not using the bottom screws.

The one I had (and returned) did not rattle at all. I suspect yours is defective. One comment not picked up by the "Reviews" is that it's not easy/quick to release it from the window compared to the redline because of the position of the release button. Lot of deign/eng flaws.

No. It is solid enough to ride with the TV mounted. Thus the locking mechanism.

I have found mine extremely sturdy and have had no issues with shaking while driving. It has stayed very secure on my windshield, I would highly recommend this product.

Yes, the rattle is normal, that is the stabilization you hear. Nothing to worry about.
