The standard cover not only is spring loaded but has a "dog" on it (tooth) that lockes onto a tooth or notch on the 7-pin plug to hold it in place.

If the spring is gone, I'd bungee it or otherwise lock it in place.

It is possible for the "dog" to break off giving the plug the freedom to wiggle loose.

New socket at O'Reillys is less than 10 dollars. Replacing isn't hard, just awkward due location.
