Setup Guide
1. Choosing the Right Size
This car cover is designed for sedans with a length ranging from 177 inches to 194 inches (4.5 to 4.9 meters). It is suitable for various sedan models, including but not limited to Audi A4/A5/A6, BMW 5 Series/6 Series, Cadillac CT4, Dodge Avenger, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord/Civic, Kia Forte, Nissan Altima/Versa, and Volvo V40.
To ensure the best fit, measure your vehicle's length, width, and height before purchasing. The cover should be approximately 4 inches (10 cm) longer than the actual length of your vehicle for optimal coverage.

2. Preparing Your Vehicle
Before applying the car cover, ensure your vehicle is clean and dry. Any dirt, dust, or moisture trapped between the cover and the car's surface can potentially scratch the paint or lead to mildew formation.
3. Installing the Car Cover
- Unfold the car cover and identify the front and rear ends. The front typically has the longer reflective stripe and mirror pockets positioned towards the front of the vehicle.
- Carefully drape the cover over your vehicle, starting from the front bumper and working your way towards the rear. Ensure the mirror pockets align with your side mirrors.
- Adjust the elasticated hem around the bottom edges of the vehicle for a snug fit.
- Secure the cover using the provided windproof straps. Attach the 2 long windproof straps across the vehicle, typically under the front and rear sections, and connect the 4 shorter tie-down straps to the wheels or undercarriage to prevent the cover from being lifted by strong winds.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cover blows off in wind. | Straps not secured or not tight enough. | Ensure all 6 windproof straps (2 long, 4 short) are properly fastened and tightened. Check that the elasticated hem is snug around the vehicle. |
| Water accumulation on cover. | Cover not taut, allowing water to pool. | Adjust the cover to ensure it is stretched smoothly over the vehicle, allowing water to run off. Ensure proper fit for your vehicle size. |
| Scratches on vehicle paint after cover use. | Vehicle was not clean before covering; debris trapped underneath. | Always ensure your vehicle is clean and free of dirt, dust, and abrasive particles before applying the cover. Clean the inside of the cover periodically. |
| Cover does not fit properly. | Incorrect size selected for the vehicle type/length. | Verify your vehicle's dimensions against the recommended size range (177-194 inches for sedans). Contact customer support if you believe you have the wrong size. |
