RangerSal,
Here is the normal drill--if your Suites happens to show the rear cap separations ( and quite a few of them have that problem) first suggestion is usually to replace the screw with a larger one and use epoxy on it when screwing it back in. But, this usually is a temporary fix--there is not enough material in the backing metal to hold the cap on with vibrations. Need a backing place installed which will require removal of the belly cover to access the area where the screws penetrate.
Lots of reports of this problem and the many repair methods used--remember, if you don't put something for the screws to bite into, they eventually will work loose again.
Check on some of the DRV Facebooks groups to see what some have done to fix it.
No matter what, it is a bothersome problem when it occurs.
