    Actually found it again the following day going along the same farm track. Very vulnerable to being knocked off by sticks that are flipped up by a wheel or branches dragging along the side.

    I haven't had any issues with it coming loose. Sticks and bushes have definitely hit it and I even managed about 200km of dirt track with it not properly attached. As for leaving it at a servo... I had to go back for the fuel cap anyway

    Ours didn't come off on our last trip up to the Territory and we drove through a lot of scrub. I always put the fuel cap & Defendoor on the drivers seat when filling fuel so if I forget to put it back on I'll end up sitting on it.....

    Lou, if the servo has your cover, why don't you send them a reply paid envelope and ask them to post it to you?

    I scratched my Puma pretty badly in scrub last time off road - the cover is still there - complete with scratches. It won't fall off - get one.
