What was you thinking ? Smart A**!

super glue.
because its a steel screw INTO PLASTIC, if u use normal threadlock it will attack the plastic.... because normal threadlock is fore screws into STEEL OR METAL.

so if its into plastic you use SUPER GLUE.

and if u dont know what super glue is .. then.... [:'(]
