The point should be that a "drop of LocTite" isn't going to fix the
problem over time.
You should not have to modify a product immediately out of the box
because of a lousy
design.

To your question, yes, we are now using a drop of Locktite Blue (not
Red) on the threads for the 2 screws that hold the round contacts in
place.

The issue is not that the paddles don't leave the factory fully tested
and operational, but that the stand-offs (E700348) loosen after a period
of time from normal use.
As posted by several of us previously, the fix is simply to place a
small dab of Loctite Blue on the threads of the two flathead screws
(E700277) which secure the stand-offs.
