YES!!!! I can't agree with you more on this one. The same thing happened to me, and it was a surprisingly small amount of torque that ruined it.

I actually ended up salvaging mine my using some silicone sealant around the bolt. That held it and kept it sealed. I think that bolt only acts as a plug/seal anyways. This hack worked fine for me, and was still in place when I replaced the CCT with a manual model.

@CZroe, maybe I'm confused/forgot, but did you move from SoCal recently?
