Be sure to get the rubber baby buggy bumpers back into place when re-installing...
Its a good idea to remove it from time to time to inspect for debris (leaves and other wind blown items) and rodent nest.

I had a large but abandond rodent nest under mine. I noticed it while changing the oil. I sure wouldn't have wanted to be that mouse under the cover when the engine started up. WOW!
