Loctite is your friend.
I use it on every nut or bolt I find loose. The ones I use it on never loosen up again.
Not so much in this application.
It is not very effective, if at all, on the course threads of the self tappers in question, going thru thin metal. There is too little surface area for the thread lock to do its job.
Its like expecting wood glue to lock a lag bolt in thin plywood.
I replaced some lightweight BAL units with heavier units last spring, and reused most self tappers, others I bumped up a size.
