Loctite on vent screws?
As others may know, the screws that hold the air vents near the windshield on the Vantage tend to loosen over time and can put out a high pitched vibration noise when driving. And yes, you can still hear it even with the loud exhaust note. The screws, especially those near the center of the windshield, are really difficult to access so it is hard to tighten them, even with a flexible screwdriver. I am considering "locking" these screws in place with Loctite thread locker, which is a non-permanent adhesive. Any opinions on this before I try it? I found the following info on the Loctite web site:
Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration.

Locktite,any of several alts.,Silicone Seal and probably several other sealants will do this job. My dealership tech offered me 4 screws of the next larger diameter which I installed during the replacement of my cracked windshield.
