Thunderbolt monitor keeps pulling out

[CutmanCometh]

I have a 27 Inch iMac with 2 monitors connected to it via thunderbolt.

One is connected via HDMI cable -> HDMI/thunderbolt adapter.

The other is connected via VGA cable -> VGA/thunderbolt adapter.

The one using VGA -> thunderbolt keeps pulling itself out. It happens about once a day. That monitor will go black, I'll look in back and, sure enough, the thunderbolt adapter has pulled part way out of the port, enough that it loses the connection.

Has anybody else experienced this? Does anybody have a "life-hack" or fix of some kind?

Thanks in advance!

Zip tie and super glue fix everything.

LoL. I'm not super in favor of supergluing the thunderbolt adapter to the back of my computer.

MacGyver it then with some bubble gum. Where there is a will there is a way.

In my experience, the Thunderbolt 1/2 connector is not that great. In a brand new 15" rMBP, I found it sits a bit loose in one of the two connectors. Two of my colleagues found the same.

A bit of duck (duct?) tape might be fine.
