I use a velcro strap all the way round the fuse box to keep it shut. The dust gets in because it is not an air tight cover.

It never gets below 12 degrees centigrade here but it can raise into the mid 40's in summer! That takes its toll on plastic for sure.

I took mine off in cold weather and the clips snapped, in my opinion it is not a good design the way it attaches

The problem appears to be the design, with the gripper surface on the tabs, makes you think you're supposed to push the tabs inward (towards each other) when in fact you push them outward in the direction of the molded in arrows on the cover (away from each other). Pushing them inwards snaps them off. The molded in 'gripper' surface is on the wrong side of the release tab.
