Given it's not a true rivet you should be able to remove trim, straighten and re assemble. You can bend tabs shown in my photo.

@buddhasummer is correct. No trauma, something in my gear caught on it and bent it.

What a bunch of regulator nerds we are

Same thing can happen with the S620s as there is nothing holding the outside part of the chrome trim. My primary has one side starting to come up. I bet something got caught on the edge when in the rinse tank.

I sent an email and photo to Scubapro, I look forward to a reply. The C370 is a little over 2 1/2 years old.

I heard back from Scubapro. Not unexpectedly, they think I should pay to have the cover replaced.
I'm disappointed, but not surprised.

The small order I have has been held up due to one item being on back order. If you need/want me to order you a face plate just let me know.

Follow up.
So I ordered a replacement faceplate through Jupiter Dive Center in FL, a very active Scubapro dealer. It came in within just a few days and was set aside for my next visit. I showed up and Gerry, the owner, tells me he has the faceplate but is not going to install it because the left side of the steel decorative piece was already sprung out of the upper hole when it arrived. Of course, this was disappointing and illustrates the poor design and/or manufacturing of this piece. Confidentially, Gerry told me that I was not the first to complain about this defect. The problem is that the bend in the top of the steel piece is insecure and pops out of its hole. It is then loose, and able to catch on items to be bent.
Gerry just took the decorative steel piece off the regulator for me. Not sure if I will replace it or not. As a Scubapro customer since 1972, I'm very disappointed in the quality of this product and in the response from Scubapro. They must know that this is a defect. This is otherwise a fantastic regulator.
