Steve:
That's what I thought too, but the screws are totally tight, and the belt
clip itself is very tight, with no movement at all.
I wonder if somehow, due to constant wear, the holes in the plastic piece
through which the screws go somehow have gotten too big, so that there is
now play in there between the plastic piece and the heads of the screws.
As I said in another post, I have another THF6A at work, and will check that
one out on Tuesday to see if the plastic piece has the same problem there.

Tom,
If the plastic piece fits between the belt clip and the radio, and it's
loose, that suggests that maybe the screws need to be tightened. Otherwise,
I don't see how that piece of plastic could be loose.
