RadCity 5 Plus, headlight will not tighten.

[Zombie Wolf]

I am installing the headlight on my new bike and as the manual says I out three washers on the bolt, put the bolt through the fender mount, then through the head light, then trough the fork, then one more washer and the nut on the end. but I have tightened it to the point that the nut started to slip in the wrench but the headlight will still slight all over the place with almost no effort.

anyone have any tips on how I can fix this?

The bolt should not be slipping. I think you are either using the wrong sized wrench or have bottomed out the nut and there isn't any threads left to turn it on.

Hard to say more without pictures.

Three washers on the bolt does not sound right, I think the post below might be right in the bolt is bottoming out but it might be due to an extra washer. That being said the mounting system could be better, I'm connecting them to the front basket on one and front rack on our other.

Problem fixed.

as per the instructions the split washer that I could not remove from the bolt should not be there, and because I was put the bolt in from the front (as per the instructions) that split washer was on the side where the light mounts. when I turned the bolt around so the nut was by the light and the split washer was between the forks it worked perfectly.

Excellent!! Glad to hear that.
