When it becomes necessary to remove the cover plates of your harmonica to perform tuning duties, try this trick:

Replace the cover plate bolts with a 2" vinyl tipped spring loaded clamp (MicroMark #81839) on each end to hold the harmonica firmly together during the breath tuning process.

Hey Hank,
The 2" clamps can be found at: www.micromark.com (#81839)
Oh BTW the Seydel vented cover plates are very cool!
Thank You, Kinya
