 Hi there,

 This is small problem but it's bugging me.  I've noticed a few loose sheet
 metal screws/fasteners have either come loose or have at least lost their
 "purchase".  Specifically, some interior screws that attach the curtains to
 the window frames are stripped in my '85 Westfalia.  Should I replace with
 over-sized screws or is there something like LockTite that can be used to
 make these fasteners secure?  Any ideas would be appreciated.

 Thanks much, Marty

A trick I've used often is to take a paper clip and bend a little U on the
end of it.  Snip this little bugger off and slide it into the hole, one leg
of the U on the front side and one leg on the back side, get it?  Then run
your sheet metal screw back in, should be nice and tight.

Good Luck
