New 997 si problem

My card on the right slot will not stay in. Seems like the latch broke. Anyone ever have this problem?

Also, My nut fell in the river. Anybody got a spare gimbal nut?

I hate you guys are having all these problems with these 997's. One thing for certain, it makes me look in a different direction for my next electronic purchase.

I have found if you don't close the cover very carefully ,it pushes down on the sd card on the right and releases it from the lock in position . I understand that yours is probably broken .
