Same way boxers do it.
I try and do two things:
1. Look for holes to strike (including rib/body shots, etc)
2. Pull the hands down and out of the way (lop sau)
Also, having patience is a good thing, too. In a moment, the 'covering up' will be gone.

What rule-set?
Don't wait--use any passive action (time) to destroy him!
BiuJee...(elbows)
The hacking elbow can be devastating IME..
You can also grab one or both of his arms and hit him with them and control him...
Combine elbows/knees.
And don't leave out any legal moves to break his horse with your horse..

Since wing chun is all about economy of motion, why would you not kick to the groin or knee ? Yes, you can uproot, or try to lop or pak but a low strike, knee, or kick will open the upper line for finishing strikes.
Absolutely. Stay safe, Keith.
just step slightly or angle to side and hit from the outside of elbows. Pak can hans to knock the arms across to open small holes. Use the hole made by the punch and use the next punches to keep it open.
Would have been a year with a possibility of being shortened to 9 months or so, since the plan is for the majority of US troops to be out by December. But I applied for a second residency training in Dermatology and got it! So they will have to bring me back early....in May, so I can get moved back to D.C. by July. So I got lucky and will only have to be gone about 5 months.

Having a full cover is just a single variable. How is tall is he? How heavy? Is he aggressive, defensive or counter fighter? What is his mobility like? What are the rules of engagement? How big are the gloves? How is his weight distributed over his legs? How does he telegraph? What is his hip position? Does he have a reach advantage? How fast is he? (All of these can be determined within a few seconds of observing him).
What are his weaknesses? What can I use to my advantage?
Generally speaking, all things being equal - I give it to the boxer over the WC man.
I question the training of any WC man who thinks he can e.g. pak, lap a reasonably quick boxer.

"From a psychological point of view, demons represent the universal equivalents of the dark, cruel, animal depths of the mind. When we as martial artists are preparing ourselves to overcome our fear of domination at the hands of an opponent, we must go deep within our inner being and allow the darkest parts of ourselves to be revealed. In order to battle the monsters in an abyss, we must sometimes unleash the demon within" http://darkwingchun.wordpress.com/
