Valve seat in cold shower faucet will not completely tighten. Just as it starts to get snug it gets loose again. Is the faucet stripped? (Seat is new and not stripped)
 
If you are sure it's the correct seat then I would say it's striped. What you could try for a short term fix is put a small O ring over the seat on the threaded end. Then just sung the seat into place. I have done this with some success to by time until you replace the faucet.
