Default what is that noise?

My Libelle has a floating shim on one of the lift pins and I'm afraid it will slide off and get lost during assembly/disassembly. Sounds like cementing it on may be the trick.

On none removable lift pins, the shins are lightly glued on to the fuse wing fillet with contact cement or similar.
Be warned, too tight shims can make rigging very difficult in hot weather.
