Optronics housing joint failing

Has anyone had experience with the joint between the lamp housing and the mounting hardware failing on the Optronics lights? I've put about 2000 miles on mine so far and both are getting looser and looser. I doubt they will fall off like the bezels, but I'm considering I should add a dab of caulking to stop the noise. Any ideas on a better fix? I'm assuming there is a sort of metal rivetting or heading over process when connecting the two pieces during manufacture and doubt I could repeat that even with full dis-assembly unless I had some sort of special tooling.
