    Run rail screws

    What's the best way to keep these from backing out.

    Ohh....I was about to respond that there isn't a way; you just have to re-tighten them annually. I'll try some

    apply 3m 4200 then tighten up and might be the last time you have to do it

    if you put something strong enough from keeping them from moving they will just break. 4200 or Ranger sells them with adhesive on them now
