Has anyone found a solution to keep the anti rattle screw from loosening?

As long as I can remember I have never had problem with The anti-rattle screw.

plumbers tape, and tighten it down before the weight of the trailer is on it, that will help to keep pressure on it so it doesn't losen

Mine did the same thing at first. It ended up that I had it to far forward and the latches on the outside we're hitting the cab of the truck. Moved it back just a little and it stopped rattling.

I've never had that problem. I thread locked the screws even though I thought it was overkill. Perhaps they were screwed in at a bad angle and finally gave out?

We used crazy glue and a clamp. Have been in place with no problem for a year or so. Good luck.

The screw that is used is a Phillips head, and the plastic cap has a "stem" that is shaped to conform to the head of the screw. Try rotating the cap until it "settles" into the shape of the screw head. It might still be somewhat loose, but it's the best you can hope for.

I don't have a rattle. I still love mine and it just screwed on with no plumbers tape. And no leaks.

Just tighten to the folding resistance you deem best. Do not crush the tubing or leave the bolt loose so it rattles. I tightened mine down so that it gives quite a bit of resistance to minimize movement from that joint during use. A little bit of all purpose grease in the joint helps too.

adam w evans answer seems like a great answer. I didn't have the problem you describe, nor have I had to adjust the screw mentioned.

Sorry, but I did not experience this issue so I can't really help you. If you can get enough grip with the vice grips, remember to twist out and not pull due to the threads on the screw.

Mine is the same way; chip rattles. Does not effect the performance. I too received a screwdriver; not sure what that is about.

If you mean "tighten" so that the seat doesn't slide around when you sit on it, here is what you do: pop up the tulip-shaped covers at the back of the closed seat (a bottle opener works great for this), then use a scredriver to tighten the plastic screws. If, however, you are asking how to make the seat close slowly again and this suggestion doesn't do it, you will need to contact the manufacturer.

I never had that problem. Might need to send back or try to bend the fastener to a slightly less round. Mine holds well shut until pulled open. Good luck.

Mine rattles too. I just picked it up and shook it. I never noticed this before. I guess it is normal. Good question. Glad I could help. I don't have any other problems with it.

I just had my husband tighten it and that solved the problem. However, had that not worked, I was planning on putting a piece of gripper pad (the kind you can get at the dollar store for opening jars) around the bar under the clamp.

We did have a problem with our unit. I called the service number, tried the fix he suggested but it didn't help. After a few more calls, they did send me a pre-paid return label. Several weeks we got the same unit back --- with the same problem. Luckily, the unit heats well but I need to give it an occasional kick to stop the loud rattle. Guess my answer is "good luck getting a replacement".

I don't believe that loosening the belt will fix whatever problem you are having. The pieces fit together in such a way... there is no way for the belt to prevent the brush from coming out of position. You must have a different problem, such as the beater bar being out of position during reassembly.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.
