little concern with my ms wing

hey guys

I noticed a slight vibration on my ms wing that I installed yesterday.

I checked the two screws on each side, and I found one screw is a little loose.
So I just tightened it up by just screwing it back tight.

I want to ask fellow MS guys about this
Do you guys have a similar problems?

Do you know any better screws that you can recommend?

the wing will flex a little as you hit bumps, if that is what you're asking

oh. I've never had issues with screws being loose, and my MS wing is now over 5 years old.

Sometimes you just need to get a bigger screw. I changed to a bigger one than the oem and it fits snug now, no vibration at fwy speeds and bumps
