That one vent cover hinged the wrong way absolutely must be turned so the hinge is forward. Any kind of additional cover requires it properly oriented or the additional cover will also face the wrong way which will be a disaster.
I bought cheap Aero-Flo over-the-vent vent covers from Walmart on-line and picked up at the store for $30 each. I am told they do not hold up well to UV, but our rig is stored indoors. If stored outdoors, I would paint them to protect them from UV damage. The top half removes from the bottom half by removing a big screw, making for easy cleaning when needed.
Here is one installed on my rig. It worked great during a strong wind & rain storm, so well that I bought a second one for the bathroom vent, not yet installed. They are great for people with less money to work with. I always seek the lowest cost, yet reliable solution.
One final consideration was that I needed a cover with a height that was not higher than the a/c unit or it would interfere with the garage door opening.
