So the tape holding the knobs onto the generator screws lost its grip after about three weeks. As with so many things these days, “eventually” isn’t nearly what it used to be.
The screws now sport 3M outdoor-rated foam tape which generally requires force majeure to remove:
Although I got one of the screws out of the cover while modeling the knob, the other was more firmly implanted and resisted my entreaties.
However, having recently spotted the small tool kit accompanying the generator, should the knobs fall off again, I’ll forcibly remove the screws, put them in the tool bag, and rely on the snaps to hold the cover in place.
