Heard here or another forum that I want to loctite certain hardware on the side cases, but can't find it again and a few searches were unsuccessful. Can anyone describe which case hardware needs loctite and how I get to it (bonus thank yous for pics).

Thanks!

 
There are two #10 Security Torx screws that hold each lock mechanism to the latch on each bag. Simply back them out, loctite them and put back in. I also put a dab of Goop on the outside for added security.

These two screws.

Dealers often "forget" to Loctite them (requires the ability to read a simple instruction).

 
In addition to loctite I used strips of aluminum foil duct tape over the screw heads.

Those puppy's aren't going anywhere.

 
And just use a small drop of loctite on the screws! Loctite will eat the plastic if it comes in contact and you will have a serious mess on your hands. It's happened.
