+Tactical Cache Marauder Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Well I just got my 60 CSX. Arrived really fast. Now I need to dig into the information that came with it. Simple question for those of you that have had one for a while. The belt clip button. It seems to have some thread lock compound on the screw. I screwed it into the spot for it as finger tight as I could get it. Did not use a tool to tighten it. How good is that thread compound? Anyone have a button come loose over time? Basically my question is is there any need for concern and should I take preventative measures and put some strong lock tite or other good thread compound on those threads?

+Red90 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Mine has always been in hand tight and never come loose. I'll check by hand that it is tight every now and then. Quote
+Team Dubbin Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I haven't touched mine since I got it, just now checked it and its still nice and tight. Quote
+Tactical Cache Marauder Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Well I guess Garmins thread lock stuff works pretty well then. I will forget about it and just check the button every so often. Think I will run out and find a cache with my new toy. Quote

+DustyWalker Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I lost one after about eight monts of use. It worked itself loose over time (I assume) and then fell off, I suspect from taking it on and off of it's neck lanyard and my RAM dashmount. Luckily I had a spare so was soon back in action. Now I check when I think of it. Quote
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Garmin apparently didn't put thread lock on the early shipments of the 60C, and this was a common complaint when they first came out. I don't see it mentioned very often any more, so I am guessing the thread lock they now use is pretty good. Quote
+briansnat Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Without the thread lock it might come loose. I got in the habit of tightening my button every time I took the unit out, because it did come off several times. Quote

Took if off here while back and misplaced it. I have a lathe so will make another when I need it. Quote
+geobc Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Personally, I never rely solely on that clip nub. I always use the lanyard, too, just in case. GeoBC Quote
