Problem with Hardy Sirrus Reel

Hi all
I have a Hardy Sirrus Reel 5/6 matched with a Winston WT #5 and after i had used it approximately 20 times its screws of the reel seat started to loosen.I managed to fix it but i am not sure if it's going to happen again in the future.Did anyone of you have any similar experience?My opinion is that the reel seat with the screws system is off-handedly made.Should i replace it with a new reel ?

Thanx in advance paj2ala
