My understanding from my dealer is that you should only use one that will disintegrate with gas buildup - something like a plastic margarine cover doesn't fit the bill & could be dangerous. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The original poster meant, I think, the metal flue cover, not the quasi-plastic one that is removeable. My dealer sells the plastic one separately for about $45. Canadian. Interesting that the EV Winnie does not use a removable protective cover over the fixed assembly. I needed a new flue vent exterior assembly for my Winnie &, just like the original poster re. his Westy, had to buy the entire assembly - pipes & all just to get it - all of $50 CDN at VW Richmond Hill near Toronto ; when buying it, the parts guy said "you're lucky it's not for your Westfalia".
