Bombardier calls such modifications an вЂњSRAвЂќ. If that happens in a non-structural piece of metal, the maintainers would request an engineering disposition to use a panhead fastener instead of the original countersunk screw, (in lieu of replacing the entire kick plate). Countersunk holes are prone to becoming elongated (out of round) at high stress points. Over the years, the countersink around these screws may have become damaged. The kick plates would be removed whenever there is a recurrent inspection that requires accessing whatever is underneath.

There are any number of reasons why this would have been done. They are raised above the metal surface of the kick plates not recessed into it. The screws you are complaining about are panhead screws not countersunk. They look the way they do because that is how they looked in the real airplane PMDG used for their model. The cockpit textures were digitized from photos of a real 737NG. I have looked carefully at the screws under maximum zoom. I am quite certain this is not a texture bug. What an absurd reason not to buy an airplane!

If the position of these screws would be finally fixed I am going to buy the 737. Has someone a screenshot showing if the footrest bolt position has been fixed in the new 737-600? Or are the bolts on the captainВґs side footrest still half-way clipping through the cockpit walls?
