Anyone know how to make the plastic cover (door) where the shore power cord plugs into more stiff? Mine won't stay open like it used to, and when I have to use one hand to plug in my shore power cords (and screw in the black, outside "sleeve" of the shore power cord) the door falls down onto my knuckles. If there was a way to spray "Anti-WD-40" (if something like that even EXISTED!) so it would stick it would be ideal, as I don't see a way to "shim" the door hinges to make them stiffer/stickier, either. When you're hanging out over the edge of the shore power outlets, trying to screw in shore power cords from an external generator like I have to do (and the water is 45 degrees or so) and there's nothing to hang on to other than the flap of the bimini top, the constantly-closing covers make the job a little too difficult.

Any ideas?!
