definitely prethread
I've found that depending on the size of the screw, that assembly goes much smoother if I pre-thread at least half the screw depth (really small screws, it's worth working them in and out slowly, so as to not heat the plastic and jack up the threads, once or even twice). I've attributed it to the denser TLR plastic, but who am I to say.
