Advice needed for accessing Monitor controls

[GAtekwriter]

In the attached image you'll notice that the monitor's screen controls (horizontal, vertical, etc) are on the upper back of the monitor.  They are small dials that are fairly stiff and do not turn easily.

Because the monitor is being mounted permanently in the cab, I'm worried that I might have to adjust these items in the future and am considering options.  My questions:

1.  Once I set these controls, do you think I'll ever have to tweak them again?  Should I maybe glue some small plastic pieces to prevent them from turning?

2.  Should I consider cutting an access hole in the back of the cabinet for my hand to reach in?  Any thoughts on how to cover the hole if I used this method?

The cab is pretty much screwed down and tightened but I can take the back panel off if necessary.  I'm thinking these controls will stay put once I set them, but who knows...

1. I don't think you'll have to worry too much about having to tune them much after you get it to where you like it.   Initially you'll have to have a friend or mirror handy to get it to adjust, but once you do, I don't see it moving on it's own.  Unless they are broken and/or loose and adjust on their own, you don't need to secure them.

2. You should have an access panel on the back of your cab regardless.  It makes life much easier for smaller repairs.  If you've already covered it, cut out a large rectangular hole, then make a "door" for it with a latch or some key-entry method.   I mean, if you've got it all covered up, you can do without it - but it'll make little problems take longer to fix.
