Potseal, how many of the cover flaps on the receptacles have you seen broken off?
Here in Manitoba I have seen enough that I wonder why we just don't install standard interior wall plates. I don't know if its the -40 in the winter or the scorching sun in the summer that takes a toll on them.
Surprisingly most of the Eagle brand weatherproof covers are in good shape with only a few that I found damaged. Generally the receptacles that need replacing are far more deteriorated than the covers with the exception being the 4 corner cover screws. Must be an inferior type than the counter sunk centre screw since it's always the 4 corner screws that look rusty and often break during removal. Since the majority of the cover "doors" were found in the open position I assume they are seldom touched and that probably helps keep them intact but does nothing to help preserve the receptacle.
