broken VFR taillight?

I know that a few folks here have or have had VFR's in the past. What would cause the tail light to fall out on an older model (96 I think).

It really seems that one saying is coming to mind.

Only loctite the bolts you don't want to loose.

Unless it can be confirmed that the ass of that VFR has never been taken apart, it could be screws taking a walk.

It's been quite a while, but I pieced the cracked-up tail section back together and reinforced the light area on a buddy's '95 VFR. I recall it was pretty rickety & insecure how the tail-light mounted & it had a lot of play where a tiny tab or two had snapped off. Just not designed very well & weak.
