Oh, I didn't even think of that. The cap is tilted forward when the
screws aren't in all the way. I guess that could do it. I'll have to
check the other ones I have with cracks and see if they also have the
phillips screws.

The ones coming back in from the field have, so far, had the larger
phillips screw in the bottom that puts more pressure on the front of
the case. But - we have also seen new out of box ones coming in
cracked the same way.
So far we have returned at least 2 with water damage to Cambium under
RMA’s.

The screw thing is the two that fastens the bottom port/ID label
thing on. The larger screw heads would stick up a bit too far and not
allow the cap to be locked. I've fixed many by tightening those a bit
as suggested and it works fine. Probably had 80-90 of those so far.
This one has one of the normal torx screws and one phillips head
holding the bottom on. Got maybe 10-20 like that. And the phillips
head screw isn't on the side with the cracks in the front cover of
this one. So... I don't have a clue how this is happening.

Wasn’t there a thread about screw heads sticking up and Cambium
saying to just torque them down? Could the factory have used the
wrong screws?

Somehow we ended up with a small handful of these. Always in that
spot and I have no idea why. They're obviously going to leak. I'm
betting Cambium won't cover them under warranty either (and I don't
blame them), but we did end up with one or two that came this way
new out of the box. This one I think one of the guys stupidly tossed
on the shelf in the truck. They're not worth sending in for repair.
I'll just wait until one is murdered beyond repair by lightning and
steal the cover. But I thought I'd ask this anyway... can we get
these covers anywhere so I can just fix them myself?
