Default 96 Coupe removable roof panel bolts vibrate loose

I've notice the last few times I've installed the roof panel on my 96 coupe that the two forward bolts for the top seem to be vibrating loose after driving for awhile. The roof panel will beging rattleing when I hit bumps in the road and when I check these bolts they are loose by 1/2 to 1 turn. I tighten them up and in awhile they are loose again. After about three times of tightening, they seem to stay tight until the next time I install the roof panel. Has anyone experienced this and if so, what did you do to resolve the problem?
Thanks,
Larry

Minedid the same thing, put lock washers on and that solved my problem.
