Recommendations are for 'correct' Weber air cleaners - all being, including the one's in your photo, a copy of K&N's. Is your oiled as they should be to work correctly. Why are you worried about covering them as water intake should be minimal unless in some 'biblical tempest' type storm?

LOL's - in that case I'd go down to the local pound store and find two plastic buckets with base diameter about the same as the AF lids, drill a hole in the bottom, in each that corresponds to the AF lid fixing, cut down their length to about 150mm / 6" and change the AF lid nut to a wingnut. Then store the 'covers' somewhere on the trike ready to whip out and install - about 30 seconds either side, and remove when Noah and his Ark have passed by! :beer:
