Has anybody else encountered this problem? Are there any known solutions?
When you say 30% of the time crossing the bridge, are you saying they are falling out? If so, some teams use a drop of silicone or other soft, pliable adhesive like that once they are installed. This tends to "vibration-proof" the connection, but is easy to remove as long as you do not go overboard. Some teams will use electrical tape for the same reason.
