Default Airbox lid screws always loose

Does anyone else have problem with the airbox lid screws coming loose? I lost one..luckily the bolt that holds on the hand guard is a direct fit.

No problems with mine. The forward, right corner of the lid is very weak though soif you over tighten that bolt the lid will crack direcly beneath the screw head. Don't ask me how I know[8D]
