@MCD73, welcome to the forum and hopefully to the club.

There have been issues reported if you remove the cover frequently as the clips wear. Folks have come up with various fixes for that.

My FRS (which tends to have the same issue) has over 210K miles on it and no issues. To be fair the front cover probably has half that many miles on it because I was front ended at one point, and it had to be replaced. But that is the only time it has been off the car.
