Water heater compartment

Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks. 2011 Georgetown 337. The water heater panel screws work out, then the panel starts to move out. I have put bigger diameter screws in with epoxy under the head the last time I fixed. All my fixes last about 800 miles until they work loose again.Click image for larger version

I had the same issue with one of the L brackets. I had to get to the back of the water heater to fix an issue and while doing that I relocated the two L brackets and added a third, held the door in place with wood working clamps, made new pilot holes in the rail through the brackets and secured. Once the existing screw holes in the door get reamed out they are useless. Bad install design by FR.
