Dinette Wall Screws Coming Loose

[Bugkiller]

Good morning,

This is my first time posting so not sure where or how but here goes. I have three screws holding the top of my dinette cushion wall to the slide that are coming out. I can fix this with new screws but need to know where to put them without punching through my slide wall. Do I put them up , down, left, or right next to the originals. I'm guessing up or down but not sure. I have considered fatter screws in the same holes. Anybody else have this issue and what did you do to correct? Thanks!

It looks like that screw should have been into the slide box framing. Does it tighten up? If so, some adhesive silicone on the tip and lower threads would keep it from backing out. If it doesn't tighten, probably means it was overtightened and stripped out of the aluminum tube. In that case, larger diameter screw of same length in same hole.

OK thanks!

I concur, try a larger diameter screw (but not longer!).
