yes - it is of some concern
no - I did not make a new cover
I plan on monitoring the amount of captured debris and then deal with it at 
that point (fabricating a cover if so required). Right now it looks like a 
little WD40 will do the trick on occasion.

Make sure that the bake plate has been slightly spread away from the lock. 
Kyle Rocke did a nice picture of it. Go to the accessories section of the 
site, click on the "2 Box pannier" link and then click on the "having
