Wrenches Every once in awhile we have had issues with cross tread or striped threads on screws, this happens when the screws are backed out to far and dont line up correctly and this causes the problems, I have had this with SMA, Fronius and Outback along with combiners, I get called to fix this when someone does this, what I have had to do is to take the plastic covers off and swap screws and clamps to get them where they need to be. I do not recommend this but when in Rome. FyI dont let anyone use powered screw drivers as this can cause some of these issues. Jerry
