Mike:



Some duct covers have failed in the manner you described. I have heard

that JR stands behind these and will offer a replacement of the part. 

My guess is that they have since gone to a thicker plastic after having

discovered that the initial stuff didn't hold up in all instances. 

There is a write up of one person's experience of this in the miata.net

product reviews.
