Seat bolts working loose?

Anybody else have this problem? In the past two years, I've had to pull the seats twice, because the bolts that fasten the rails to the bottom of the seat have loosened up... Both times, I've removed the bolts, cleaned them, coated them with Lock-Tite, and re-installed.... Anybody else going through the same thing, or is it just because I'm a fat ***.....

I have a problem with the 12mm head bolts holding the rails to the body coming loose.

Annoys me to no end.

Star washers or split lock washers my man... That'd be your solution methinks.
