[QUOTE="Philward, post: 1931093, member: 92604"] I bought fender flares for my truck years ago and installed them. They had screws around the perimeter in the pockets purely for decoration. Just plain nuts and washers so I put locktite on them to keep them tight. A couple days later the screws were breaking out-a lot of them. I got a warranty replacement for the set and installed them but didn't install the screws. Some time later I installed the screws, with locktite, and they were breaking out the holes within a day. Emailed the manufacturer and asked about using locktite and would it hurt the plastic and I had watched a truck show on tv where the host installed the same flares and used locktite on the screws. Manufacturer replied that I should not be using locktite because it will break down the plastic of the flares and he sent me instructions for install that stated that. Those were not the instructions that I received with the product, so I scanned what I had and sent that to him showing there were no warnings about not using locktite on the screws. They replaced them again but instead I got the set without the screw pockets. So if there was no warnings in the manual against installing a bipod or any accessory to the stock forend or against performing any modifications/altering it and that voiding warranty, you should be able to get some help from them. Either don't install the bipod or get a different stock that is made for a bipod. [/QUOTE]
