...but,
is there a way to fix this issue? something like a loctite for plastic applications?

Back in our old early 90s nitro days we would use clear finger nail polish on fiberglass. Not sure if that would work on plastic or not...it might.

I HAVE put CA glue in the thread hole in plastic and then used a needle to swirl it into the existing threads. This can buy you a short time if you plan to take it apart again, or a long time if you leave it alone. Use slow CA and let it dry before you put a screw back in.

In many places you can also drill the hole deeper, or through drill. In that case you use a longer screw, or even through bolt.

Also, when you build new, use a thread forming tap in plastic parts. You do not want a tap that cuts chips.

Very nice touch on the bumpers.

That sort of detail is really hard to do. I did it on my barracudas.
