It opens with just a light touch. It seems that the rubber part is particularly short, and there is not enough friction to keep the cover tightly closed.

Yep. I got mine yesterday and the cover is barely on there. I suspect the USB C port itself is water resistant like those on cell phones, but I wouldn't want debris or water getting in there regularly…
It is a bit loose, but with the silicone case around mine, it’s a bit of a non-issue. You still have to “dig” out the door to open it.
According to DC Rainmaker, "The port has a little cover, but it’s also internally waterproofed to IPX7. "
I bought the 840 yesterday and one of the first things I noticed was the UBC C port door, which actually opens very easily and a little too easily for my comfort level ;) but today I drove a fairly long, bumpy distance and nothing happened. I use the mount in front of the handlebar stem, included in the kit.
This issue is the same on my 1040. I’ve just had the door replaced but can’t see much difference. Doesn’t take much for it to open. Mine was opening up after a a bit of riding on bumpier surfaces. The 1030 and 1030+ had a much more secure usb door cover.
