OK, here is the real fix you should do. On our first trip we saw the fender flapping in the wind. When we stopped the screw was not even there, so we grabbed one of the ones in the middle and replaced it. Then when I got to a hardware store, I drilled out the hole for a 10-32 machine screw, then using 1/4" washers, and used 10-32 "Nylock" nuts on the back side. They are the aircraft nuts with nylon in them, that won't let the screw loosen ever again. So I did it to all my fender screws. Total cost about $20 for bolts, washers, and aircraft, "Nylock" nuts
Did you buy stainless bolts or at least painted? If not won't they be a rusty mess in a few months?
