d - discussion today, reminds me of being @ my Uncle's shop in Atlantic Canada, as a kid. He had a big chunk of thick truck Inner Tube nailed up over the padlock on his wooden shop-door. Lots of ice in Atlantic storms, even back then, so he'd gotten tired of a frozen lock. Tube worked well.
Every time I have to thaw a lock on my garden-shed here, I think of him and how I need another RoundTuit myself !
IIRC, you run your Gen on a open-patio, so it may see rain/snow while running. Next-pass, I'd be inclined to buy a heavy/large Inner tube, slit it open, then silicone or epoxy it to the top horizontal frame-rail above the control panel. Can't picture your model exactly, but you get the idea..... stops moisture dropping-down directly on the panel when gen is running, but is easy enough to quickly flip-up for access.
Next-next pass, something like somebody (Nik?) built on here - ABS pipe-frame doghouse, large enough to run the gen in safely, and not set the tarp on-fire, could help.....
