I have own my 2008 Dahon Mariner D7 since 2008. They sell the current year Dahon Mariner D7: https://amzn.to/2wP5Qvx ) . I bought it new and rode it everywhere! The Handlepost Hinge requires adjustment to from time to time as the adjustment screws get loose, eventually there is a slight play or wiggle while biking.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE IN REPAIRING YOUR BIKE, FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY BRING IT TO A BIKE SHOP THAT IS A DAHON DEALER OR KNOWS HOW TO SERVICE DAHONS!. FIX IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!**

Sooo...as i was saying, there you need some Allen wrenches and a needle nose pliers to make slight adjustments to the two plate screws and the pushing adjustment bolt and nylon. Basically the plate is spring loaded and these screws are not suppose to be tight, but are movement guides for the plate height. The Nut with the nylon end guides how the plate pushes when the lever is moved. too much tightening and the plate will not close. too little and the plate is loose making the handle post wiggle. It took me about 10 adjustments so the lever is firmly sets the plate in place with a firm lock, So you need to experiment. If its still loose, i suggest bringing into a bicycle repair shop.

Enjoy! I have fun working on my bike and making some videos for fun!
This is how i do it for entertainment, do so at your own risk or bring it to an auto professional at repair shop. Thanks for watching.
