I had a velcro issue with my AM9s, where the pace flap wouldn't stay shut. The solution was simple enough, I stitched some new "fluffy" side to the cover and now it works as new again.
Mud/water doesn't do the fluffy side of the velcro any favours, and the "loops" can't be torn open indefinitely.
10mims with a needle and thread after 5~ years of use wasn't unreasonable imo.
A lot of hate in velcro in this article, but it can be repaired too.
