OEM 7 Way Trailer Plug

In order to make a "good" connection and have all my lights and trailer brakes work, I end up wedging a dime between my trailer plug and my trucks trailer plug outlet. Without the dime, the trailer plug sags downward under the pressure of the trailer plug outlets spring loaded cover/cap. It's really a pain at times trying to get all the lights/signals to work. It has also affected both my trucks and even after installing a OEM replacement outlet.

Anyone else with this problem? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Ron
