I have had this happen a few times.  I have not had success with Locktite, but JB weld has worked.

Subject: [TR] TR4A trunk hinge question

Hi all, 
It’s been some time since I have posted on this list but here goes.
During the restoration of my TR4A, I had purchased a new set of hinges for the trunk which was about 10 years ago. 
After noticing one hinge coming apart I found that the short threaded stud one that hinge actually pulled itself out of the hinge.
Two questions:
1. Is this a common failure mode?
2. If I used red Locktite or JB Weld to secure the studs would they stay put?
Thanks,
Dave Connitt

Agree, JB Weld will do the job.
