The PC cover:
It does screw off. I use finger nail on each side in the grooves and a
little counterclockwise pressure will break it loose from the factory
rather firm tightness. It's about 2 or 3 revolutions to become free.
Once the grip is broken it unscrews quite easily with one fingernail.
I suppose you could push it back in, but you'd strip the threads doing
so, and most likely lose it at a later time. Like some I know! :-)
I suspect it is designed that way to enhance or even provide WR to the
body.

What's weird? K20D has the same screw-in (water-and dustproof) sync

I still think it doesn't look like something that is easy to just
grab and pull off - like, the ridges look (and I don't have a K20D
so I wouldn't know from hands-on experience) like they're designed
to make sure you are NOT able to get a good grip on the thing.
