What bird?
I put a touch of lock-tite on mine. Just enough to gum them up a bit. I have had them back out on the Gasser.

Life's a journey, NOT a destination.

They've backed out on the gasser. Tried a 'lil loctite, maybe I need more. Any thoughts on using teflon tape perhaps?

I've lost a ton of them. I have made my canopy holes big enought allow the canopy to slide totally over the stud, then I use a slightly bigger washer and I screw the canopy screws in till they hit the metal and then tigheten them hard. the metal to metal will make a tight fit. If they are only pressing on the rubber grommets, they will back out and I have lost up to 3 canopy screws in one flight. I don't loose any now and I don't have loc-tite or anything on there. Best advice, STOCK-UP...

JJones,

Sounds like a good fix, thanks for the tip.
