Default outlet box cover and solution

We have a Gardenia block stucco construction roughly 11 years old. The electrical outlet on the back of the house is plastic with a plastic cover. The cover mounts on two pins molded into the box. Over time the cover is so brittle it will crack. There is no name on the box or the cover. If you have the same on your home Amazon has the cover at 8.99. Of course no instructions. I found I had to cut a slot into one of the holes that for the hinge to be able to get it over the pins without breaking anything. The original was either made that way or broke that way. They even have a choice of clear or white.
