Default Sony HU question

Anyone ever had this problem? The screws that secure the HU to the install kit on tje sides came out on my last ride. Now my radio is just rattling around. Anyone know what size screw is needed to secure it?

I think a better question would be. . . What made the thing come out in the first place? Screws just don't fall out for no reason??

I will take a guess I am guessing they did not get torque down all the way. That simple.

They should be ¼-20x3/4 cap screws if you have the cradle for a DIN-size radio installed.

I might suggest a dab of blue locktite too.
