Top cap above gas tank/behind seats

[Amac88]

This top cap is loose. I've noticed 1 screw is stripped. It does have the 4 screws total, which I think is the usual standard. Can I add additional screws? If so, does location matter?

I would call Phoenix and talk to them before running any screws in that area.

Yes sir, waiting to hear back. Just curious if someone has already experienced the issue. Sometimes getting info on here is quicker lol.

remove the panel first so you can mark the areas you want to add screws to to avoid putting any in the gas line or hose, if you have one striped you can remove it and either use a larger size or put one right beside it and 4 is sufficient to hold it but some now have 6 or 8 but for years 4 is all they had

I just replaced the 2 that were stripped with slightly larger screw and it appears to be tightened up good now. Thanks.
