Technician Note
Do not order this part by appearance alone. Several opener covers and belt-cap retainers are similar, but they fit different drive systems and motor-head housings.
Before Ordering

- Check whether the opener is a screw drive unit, not a standard belt drive rail opener.
- Inspect the original cover mounting points.
- Confirm no other drive or rail components are damaged.
Professional Advisory
If the cover was damaged by a moving part, inspect the opener for worn drive components before putting the unit back into service.
