Why Does Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers Door Keep Opening
Question:
The door on my DrawTite hitch cover has started to swing open. After a short drive, I check it and it is half open. It refuses to stay closed. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

It sounds like you have the Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover for 2" Hitch Receivers # 63080 as there are other people who have referenced the door having trouble staying closed.
The problem is that this is just a lower quality product so it isn't always perfect. I prefer a plug-style hitch cover, like the etrailer Rubber Hitch Cover # 22282, and then pairing that with a clamp-style anti-rattle device like what we see with the Malone # MPG908.
This cover does have a 1-Year Limited Warranty so I recommend pursuing that and then replacing it with the items I referenced above.
