M4 Dust Cover Won't Stay Closed

I have two M4 AEGs (a new ICS-128 and a 3 month old Aftermath Knight CQB). Both have the same problem with the dust covers not staying closed (the problem is worse on the new ICS-128 - even looking at it can cause it to flip open and firing the gun will open it).

I've implemented a temporary solution by replacing the little spring with a piece of silicone (from a silicone silly band), as shown in the attached picture. Now the dust cover stays closed until I pull on the handle.

Does anybody have a better solution? Or am I the only one with this problem?
