Hi Michael!
Yes, if you're talking about the trailer side 7 way plug, we do carry the Fastway Tethered 7 Way Trailer Connector Cover, Part # FA82-00-3315. It slips over the male 7 way plug to help protect the terminals from dirt and debris when the trailer isn't connected. One tip is to avoid leaving the covered plug hanging with the opening facing down, since water can collect inside the cover and sit against the terminals.
If you're asking about a cover or replacement door for the vehicle side 7 way socket, we don't currently carry a universal cover for that. Are you looking to protect the trailer side plug, or are you trying to replace the spring loaded door on the vehicle's 7 way connector?

Agree with Ed. He’s right about adding the grease to avoid corrosion

I’ve been using the cover for a few years and it’s perfect. Keeps the water, dirt, and debris out. I always position the 7-way plug with the cover facing up while parked preventing any rain from finding its way into the plug. Highly recommended.

I use the rubber slip on cover for the female plug to keep dirt out when not in use, Always use a contact grease for the plug connections to prevent corrosion of the metal contacts in both the socket and plug connectors.
