    Trim Reservoir Cap

    Are there any alternatives to the Trim Reservoir Cap with the flat head slot? Part number is 435342. Have stripped two out and think there has to be a better option

    Stripped what? The head or the threads?
    If it’s the head then you are using a screwdriver that is too small or a screwdriver with worn off edges. This screw does not need a lot of torque to keep it tight.

    A pair of pliers works just fine.
