Is there a source for these covers ---- I had all three of mine vandalized
and I'd love to get just the covers and not the horrendously expensive
whole units.

Thanks,
Doug

I dunno how to fix it, but I can tell you that if you don't do something
eventually the hinge pins will fail and the cover will blow off.  Happened
to two of mine.
