ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for covering a trough member. A system can include a hinge clip coupled to a sidewall of the trough member and creating a socket. The system can include a cover including a pivot member that is received in the socket to allow the cover to pivot from open to closed positions. A capture clip including a ramp portion and a seat can be coupled to the other sidewall, and a portion of the cover can ride along the ramp and drop into the seat as the cover is pivoted from open to closed positions. The hinge clip can include structures to limit rotation of the cover and to capture portions of the cover. The cover can include a capture member having an elbow to be received in the seat of the capture clip when the cover is in the closed position.
