1999 Concourse Heat Pump cover flew off

The cover for my heat pump flew off the roof while going 75 mph on the freeway. A motorist got beside me and let me know it happened. I had to drive back 10+ miles to circle around to get it. Luckily for me, it landed in the median between both sides of the interstate. It had a number of small pieces missing and a 3"x4" chunk broken off. I found that chunk and used fiberglass repair compound/mesh to repair the damaged cover.
It is held on with only 4 screws from the factory. I put a bunch of screws on it when I reinstalled it so this cannot happen again. The cover broke off where it was screwed in.
I suggest everyone add a couple of screws to their heat pump cover so this doesn't happen to you.
I attached some pictures so everyone can see what happened.
