Rear door latch bolts

So this has happened to my H3 twice already. Was driving and noticed the rear door sounds like it isn't closed fully. When I stopped and looked there were two bolts laying in the trunk. I saw that they belong on the door holding the locking mechanism. I tightened it and it was fine for 2-3 months. Just happened again. This time I put some blue loctite on the bolts. This ever happen to anyone else?

No. The carfax didn't state any accident. I have only had my H3 since November. So far it has happened twice at 3 month intervals. We'll see if the bolts come loose in another 3 months. Lol. But I am reasonably confident that the loctite will help

I think I heard once that if people shut that rear door pretty hard that those screws can come loose. Mine were kinda loose so I tightened them up, but didn't put any loctite on them.

I will check and see how they have held up the past couple months.
