Hello, Just wondering if anyone encountered this issue. Bought a DP Cover about 2 yrs ago no problems at all. Bought one last week and put in on my new MS460 and within the first 5 mins of being in wood the screws fell out and I lost the screen and retainer tin that holds the screen and covers the hole. I looked at my 2 yr old DP and it has a square piece of metal attached to the back of the cover that the screw goes into the new cover does not just metal screws through metal cover. WoW what cost cutting Chinese design flaw on a brand name OEM Stihl cover. Probably stamped in China rebagged by Stihl. My 2 older 460's have been wearing DP covers and have had no issues since they were installed. Kinda makes you mad when the sock you $39 bucks for a piece of tin that is now obviously cheaply made.
