Need Extra Screws??

I cracked the Dometic vent over my kitchen area a few weeks ago--hit a tree limb. So I got a new vent cover but Dometic had changed the design so I had to remove the part attached to the roof of my Monty. So, today I went out early to escape the heat and began digging thru the sealant to find the screws. The new vent had 16 screws--so by reasonable logic I expected to find 16 screws which I did. But the roof mounted part would not move. I carefully pryed and pulled and finally realized there were more screws. Well 15 screws later, I got it off. So the installer had put in 31 screws to hold a device to the roof that may weigh 4 pounds. He must have been paid by the number of screws used per day! Alot of the screws were installed with about a 20 degree tilt from vertical--maybe a few beers at the break? So, I got the new vent installed and sealed and I got 15 EXTRA SCREWS!
