I think someone lowered the top while the stove was still hot, rather
than let it cool down.  Maybe even with the burners on.  My original
bumpers are still there.  There are bumbers on the stove lid, too, in
addition to those on the cabinet top.  All are intact.  I think you have
no worry unless you do what some previous owner of our projectile
sciurid friend's camper did.  Dave Mc
