I have on of those black plastic covers for the battery.

How are they held on? I am told by a rubber band? Seem a bit odd.

This is the first-generation Battery Cover, which was attached with a large black square-profile rubber band (p/n 010 409 549B, still available last we checked). The covers helped prevent rain or wash water from getting inside the open-cell batteries (overfilling resulted in battery acid running into the the hell hole), and are quite desirable for proper restorations of pre-75 cars.
