N gauge SD-45 sun shield broken off

[Ohmisterporter]

I have bought two Spectrum SD-45s and both had a sun shield broken off when I opened the case. Is this a common fault with this model? The sun shield seems to stick out above the sides of the case, so when the top of the case is fitted it puts pressure on the part and can break it off. I would really appreciate knowing if anyone else has had this fault. Otherwise it's down to my own clumsiness I guess.
