I agree with you. At this point, drilling-out the screw threads and ensure the new drilled-out hole is perpendicular to the mounting surface is the best option to correct the problem. RCI needs to reach back to the assembly / production line dates when my radios were manufactured and either recall the radios or have the distributors open the box and remove the covers to inspect for any defects prior to shipping to the retailers and that will never happen. What's next? The radio shop removes the cover and conducts a thorough inspection of all internal parts and components prior to converting the radio to 11 meters and doing any and all modifications. If a defect is found, do not sell the radio and return it to the distributor and notify RCI.
I have forwarded the photos to the retailer Radio Shops who I purchased radios from to give them a "head-up".
