Question about an exterior GFCI

I have a Redodot exterior GFCI outlet on the outside of the house. First question: Can I replace the cover by itself, or do I need to replace the entire unit? The cover keeps falling off. (I think one side is missing a little spring).

Next: I use a long, heavy duty extension cord from this outlet to go to a shed, where I keep my golf cart charging battery and golfcart. I plug it in each night, and unplug it from the outlet every morning. The plug is sooooo hard to pull out. I think its stressing the GFCI outlet and also the end of the extension cord. Is there any way of getting it to come out more easily? I fear I'm going to ruin the cord and/or the outlet soon.

Thanks!
