'51 reissue jack repair

Who has repaired the jack on a Fender '51 reissue? I like this bass and would like to gig with it again, but the jack is very loose and barely stays inside the bass. Since this is not a very good design, I surely can't be the only one with this problem. I'm afraid if I buy another cup I'll eventually have the same thing happen. So, any tips on how to repair with a more permanent solution?
