well you could always go the route you tried to avoid, and buy a light bar. they are kinda pricy for what they do, but i love mine and havnt regretted it.

Its the crossbar that is moving.

You need to drill TWO SMALL holes on each end and put screws in to tighten it up.

Simple sheet metal screws. You dont have to go all the way thru




ALSO: Looks better if you flatten the crossbar. Not easy but can be done.
