Sparkplug Cover keeps getting kicked in.

Hi All,
I keep kicking in my sparkplug cover and I pull out my philips head and reset it. I guess I could attach a piece of plastic to strengthen it to keep it from doing this. I just don't want put some ugly piece of plastic there. Has anyone run into this issue before?

Maybe you have your feet too far back. I always keep my feet all the way forward as shown here:

So is this a "how to" kick in your spark plug cover? or "how not to" kick it in...???

Never been a problem for me, its solid enough.
On the one occasion when I have needed access to the sparkplug I found the cover quite difficult to remove.

Maybe you need a longer screw? It is about 1/2-inch long, isn't it?
