My fuse cover keeps falling off

I know this is kind of petty but my fuse cover keeps falling off when I take turns fast. The first time it fell off it looked like some plastic tab had been broken off possibly by the dealer because I have never taken it off. You think I can get another one from the dealer?

Had the same problem. My tab was slightly bent inside and the dealer just straightened it out, mentioning that if it ever broke they would get a new cover. I suggest you just get it replaced (or at least get the part ordered) next time you stop by your dealer, and meanwhile just remove the current cover. It's not a big deal.

In Naval Aviation we have two words that can solve any problem with fixing aircraft:

duct tape

actually I used some packing tape because it is clear. Duck tape would look too tacky, no pun intended

There is clear duct tape now. Now that is progress.

I would not want to get into a sticky situation . I'd get a new cover.
