I hate to say this since I love the car, but it is maybe worth every penny, but it is a pain in the A** to keep it from loosening.

My problem is still not solved even though I have a new original Locktite 2701 thread locker...
The screw still unscrews it self after just a couple of battery packs.

I am frustrated and sad about this problem I can not seem to resolve and if anyone comes up with a rock solid way of permamently fixing this will earn a star in my book...

I have got the tip already to:
1. Bend the screw a little on the part that is inside the metal T-nut
2. thread lok the nut by using a needle to apply the compound all the way inside the metal T-nut
3. When cured (to be on the safe side, 24hrs) use thin CA on the end of the T-nut to further aid the thread locking compound.

I have yet to try all three tips at once, but for me it will be the next step. I am however on a business trip at the moment, but will do this as soon as I am back home.

I will let you know what my experience will be when using the combination of these three.
