An item of interest for all. Remember the threads concerning the dash squeaks and loose screws? There was also an item about quality control out of the PA plant and these screws. Well I finally thought it was time to check the screws and about three wee gone and the rest except for one were loose. One that fell out didn't go far--it was in the right front tire, but not far enough to cause a leak. Replace them all with larger stainless steel (which I have been swapping out a lot of screw with stainless steel) and will see how that works.
The reason the screws are "working loose" is because they are not screwed into anything. When installed they missed the frame, which is about 3.5 inches back from the corner. I explained this in another post to this site, but forget the details. Mine were reset and are doing fine. Because of your post I just checked them .... holding tight, not bad for just returning from a 3700+- Mile trip in Mexico.
Be careful with SS screws and aluminum or steel they will corrode.
