One of the screws on the cap was fine, but the other was stripped out a bit. I could have tightened it one more time, but I never would have gotten it off again without a LOT of trouble and "magic" words. So I carefully removed the bad one and decided to make a quick trip to pick up a new screw.
One Autozone, two Advance AutoParts, a Napa, two Suzuki dealerships, a Home Depot, two Lowe's, and three hours later, I finally found the right screw...
Who would have thought that an M4-.70x12 Oval head Phillips machine screw was such a rare item in the metro Atlanta area...
Jeeeez!
I bought ten of them.
I can't wait to start looking for tires.
As they say...

Besides, dealerships do not ever stock parts anymore. A couple decades ago, dealers had nuts and bolts. I spent lots of time digging through boxes of bolts just like that. Now a days? Nada. If it doesn't have a bar code, they don't have it.
