Loose Front Clip Thread

Sometimes, for some odd reason. My front clip screw just comes off on its own. Could be because it's worn down/loose thread already. To fix this, here's what I do:

I use the longer screw, top (long) button head screw:

Screw it all the way in until you see white plastic stretch marking on it.

Then use x-acto knife or reamer to open it up. Don't force the screw in. It might loose up the thread.

This is the hole with the long screw, screwed all the way in.
