You can look it up in an on-line parts manual.

It is a well known defect. There are several threads about people losing the covers because they have fallen off. And there are several solutions offered in those threads.

My personal solution is a piece of electrical, so it has a cover and won't scratch anything, wire that holds the cover to the frame.

My clip pushed in when putting my sidecover back on so I pulled the battery out and pushed it back into position then screwed a small screw between ears to spread them apart. Cant be pushed back in now!

My 2014 cover will not fall off even if it comes loose at the top which it never has. The clip on the bottom is curved upward and you have to pull the cover up and off it. Some times its hard for me to take it off.
