Rear door stay

Hi has anyone had a problem with the rear door stay.
Mine often falls off, usually at the wrong time, on a steep slope or in windy conditions.
The ball socket at the door end unscrews, have tried Loctite but still persists.
I don't know if it is caused by vibration or it rotating as the door opens.

Had a problem with our door strut comming off at the door when trying to rotate the lock/unlock on the strut.
The door has a "ball" joint with the strut having a "cup" to go over the ball. This is all held in place with a "C" clip.
Our "C" clip had moved back just enough to let the ball pop out of the cup when the strut was moved the wrong way.
Pushed the clip back into place and all works well now.

I have that problem, it seems the clip thing wasnt doung its job right so I attempted to tighten it a bit with pliers, then it snapped. Im hoping Toyota dont tell me I need a whole new door stay.
