In the Winter I charge the battery from time to time via the tow electrics, but I don't like leaving the cover off all the time cos it looks a mess, and it's a PITA to remove and replace the cover every time I do the charge.
The OP's solution is a nice compromise - just need to find a cheap source for a spare cover.
It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

For this I would recommend wiring in a Ctek comfort connector that can be hidden behind the bumper and wired into the electrics in the rear LH lower cubby via the grommet for the tow electrics.

Love M3DPO's washer solution to the tow electric cover.
My next project is sorted!
Excellent

Oh how simple the washer idea is, I use an old dog tag on my keyring at the moment this would be much better - thanksD4 SDV6 Landmark LE

Rather than mess about cutting washers and trying to glue them on I just clipped a fat washer onto my key ring

Yeah, but you've still got to fumble about on your knees in the dark to find the slit with your fingers to put "fat wasser" in It can when others can't,

In the Harley Davidson MT350 tool kit there was a little unknown tool that often got lost. This was for the plastic engine cover screws.
I may have a couple lying round in a box somewhere and they'll be easy enough to fabricate out of ally and stick on your keyring.

True but I don't own a gypsy palace so not really an issue
