=============================================

My 2 cents:

I agree with the above 100% and would further encourage looking out for humidity
 when installing them (I've seen mildew grow under the clear plastic but this
 may be a coastal Calif. thing.)  The Fingerhut covers (do they even still make
 those?) with the "Maltese cross" impression in the plastic don't seem to hold
 up as well as unstamped plastic.  I suspect gauge of plastic is a consideration
 as well.
