My concern is with some guys being overly rough. Over the years I've had various parts of my vehicles damaged by service techs. If they open the shell and yank hard on it, is that what damages the shoulder bolt holes ( the elongating of those holes)? Will they yank on the awning to latch the shells?

I'm not trying to scare you. A lot of this is my own paranoia. I've had:
1) grease squested all over brake linings during an oil change.
2) bolts lept loose on ball joints, leaving just a few threads left before it would fall out and leave me with no steering control at 60 mph on the freeway.
3) bolts not torqued properly for the camber adjustment for alignment. The next shop was surprised I made it there.

( I'm sure you will be fine. I just get paranoid. I figure I've got 6 lives left. )
