My M696's rear turn signal bulbs keep popping out so I have to keep unscrewing the lens and reseating them.  Is there anything I can do to stop them from coming loose?

Take it back to the dealer and get it looked at, new 696, that's why you have warranty.  [thumbsup]

My dealer has been great.. No warranty issues, except a tire valve stem, but they have always been very responsive.  Like getting me in without an appt.

The little spring behind the middle contact is probably weak. If you can get at it all you need to do is stretch it a little. It's not rocket science. ;D

Those bulbs are made to go in one way and one way only. 

I found that on my M900, the taillight bulb *could* be inserted either way.  If you stuck it in the wrong way, it would pop out. 

Rotate the bulb 180 degrees and try again.  See if it feels better or stays seated.

Just a hunch.
