Been using my chim for work for a couple of days and have had to re-tighten the 2 M6 pivot bolts n the roll over bar part of the roof??. When they are loose the whole roof rattles like crazy. I must have retightened them 4 or 5 times in a a couple of hundred miles. Am i missing something or is there a way to keep them tight without resorting to loctite?

Not had the problem before but you could try lock washers if there arent any fitted, if you dont know what they are then you can get either a split spring type or a serrated type both help the nut resist backing itself off.

Hope this helps.

A drop of thread locker might well do the trick
